It has been reported in the local press that the 50MPH speed limit, campaigned by local councillers from Ringwood, has been rejected following lack of support by the police. Out of 59 accidents over the last 3 years only two were put down to speed.
I thought one of the comments reported from a coucillor when he conceded that, "although lowering the speed limit would have been a relatively cheap and easy to implement it may not be the solution needed", shows what is wrong with present thinking, just do something that is cheap but don't worry if it is not the correct solution.
Strange - nationwide , police have rejected a lot of limit lowering ,but tghe County officers have over ridden this. Has the tide turned with councillors getting back in the speed driving seat.
