Sid, with you entirely. The Shropshire Star reported this daft proposal last night with a quote from Man from the Ministry who said that no decisions had been made. Then we had a brief interview with some dozy old bat who is campaigning for improved safety measures on the A49 in south Shropshire who said yes that a reduced speed limit would 'help' but offered no reasons for this. In fact most accidents on theA49 are caused by poor junction layout and people overtaking on blind bends and I can't see how speed will resolve anything.

The problem is that these people with nothing better to do than poke their noses in other peoples' business won't give up and next they'll be wanting an even lower limit.

Thin end of wedge.
