HC Deb 30 June 1969 vol 786 c20W
76. Sir D. Renton

asked the Minister of Transport why he has so far refused to make an order for a 30 m.p.h. speed limit on Paxton Road, Offord d'Arcy, Huntingdon, as requested by the county and parish councils; and whether he will now do so.

Mr. Bob Brown

The county council's application for consent to a 30 m.p.h. speed limit on this length of non-principal road was refused because the conditions did not meet the required criteria. Local authorities need not now seek our consent to make speed limit orders for non-principal roads, but I would not expect them to approve proposals which do not comply with the criteria published last April.
