HC Deb 16 July 1958 vol 591 cc94-5W
66. Commander Maitland

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation why it is proposed to give permission to remove the 30 mile-per-hour speed limit on the road passing through New Bolingbroke, in view of the fact that two accidents have taken place only recently on this stretch of road and the parish council have expressed their strong objection to derestriction.

Mr. Watkinson

Because a speed limit on a length of only 330 yards in this village is more likely to bring the speed limit into disrepute than to prevent accidents. There have been only two in the last six years.
