Wiltshire council are to do a consultation, starting in the autumn, on proposals to increase the legal traffic speed on three of Harnham’s busiest roads. This is a ludicrious suggestion.

Their proposals are to:
1) Increase the speed to 60mph on Netherhampton Rd (from 30mph) by In-Excess
2) Increase to 40mph, the speed on Coombe Rd to the approximate location of Francis Way
3) Increase to 40mph, the speed on Downton Rd from Britford to the Milton Rd junction

The plan can be seen here

I believe that this will be a retrograde safety-step for Harnham Residents.
