Dear «sig1»

A611 ROAD IN ANNESLEY, AND LINBY PROPOSED 50MPH SPEED LIMIT - (TRO 4271) - PUBLIC CONSULTATION

Via Ltd, working on behalf of County Council, is proposing to introduce a 50mph speed limit on the A611 Annesley Road between the existing 30mph speed limit on the B6011 to a point 126 metres north-west of its junction with Hucknall Road (the road to Newstead village). The new speed limit would replace the existing National Speed Limit of 70mph on the dual carriageway.

The new speed limit is being proposed as part of the current development off the A611 at Top Wighay Farm. The works involve the construction of a new signalised junction between the Annesley Road roundabout and the traffic lights at Hucknall Road. The new traffic lights are to enable vehicles to turn safely into the new development. The lower speed limit would give approaching vehicles more time to see and react to the traffic lights. The extension of the 50mph limit north-west of the Hucknall Road junction would also ensure that vehicles are approaching the existing signals at a lower speed. In addition to the new signalised junction there will be a new access road built off the Annesley Road roundabout. All the roads approaching the roundabout would be within the proposed 50mph speed limit.

The details of the proposals are shown on the enclosed plan and notice.

Before proceeding with this consultation, I wish to consider any views of residents, businesses and organisations who may be interested in this matter. If your comments are in the form of an objection to the proposals and if they cannot be resolved, they will be reported through the County Council’s procedures at the appropriate time. Any observations on these proposals should reach me in writing, either by letter (address at bottom of letter) or email, by 21 st December 2020 .
