A petition has been received, signed by 41 people, requesting the Council to lower the existing 40mph speed limit to 30mph in Eyeworth in line with Central Government guidance. 2. Speed limit advice issued by the Department for Transport does suggest that local authorities should treat 30mph as the default speed limit for villages. For the most part, Central Bedfordshire Council has adopted that principle, but we have to consider the individual circumstances to determine if a 30mph speed limit is reasonable and there will be a reasonable level of compliance. -
