Speed limit to be reduced from 40mph to 30mph

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

We have a lot of safety issues in Hanley Castle having a school is one with the 40mph speed limit and of course people's pets cats etc etc also we have never ever seen any speed checks since being here

Would like the government to get in touch with out local council and getting our speed limit reduced in our village cars come through here miles to fast and 30 is more than plenty fast enough. We get road raged at trying to pull in and out of our own drive tooted hand signals it's not very nice
