East Suffolk extensive 30mph Speed Limit

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Many energy infrastructure programs around the Leiston and A12 areas. There are multiple 30 mph limits which is impacting many local residents getting to work and causing mental health problems. The 30mph limit is very excessive and not all for safety issues.
Consider local people who need to get to work and not apart of the energy programs.
