New 30mph limit coming to Cromhall

With a 30mph speed now in place through Rangeworthy, Charfield councillor, Sandra O'Neil felt it was very unsatisfactory that the same Wotton Road through Cromhall should continue with a 40mph limit.

Sandra, pictured left with husband John, said, "The heavy lorries and constant stream of cars travelling between Yate and the motorway all go through Cromhall and Tortworth as well as Rangeworthy. It is just as difficult for local residents to walk to school with their children or to cross the road."

Sandra succeeded in convincing the other councillors on the Thornbury & Severn Vale Area Forum that this was a priority. They agreed to allocate funding from their local transport budget to enable the 30mph speed limit to go ahead for Cromhall.
