Residents of Balbeggie are attempting to put pressure on the local authority to lower speed limits in and around the village as concern grows drivers are routinely ignoring those already in place.
Motorists are supposed to slow down to 30mph before they pass through the village but a local group says the limit is being regularly broken and is now pressing for the limit to be lowered further to 20mph to try and deter drivers from barrelling along at excessive speeds.
The group has started a petition asking Perth and Kinross Council to make the change as well introduce new 40mph “buffer” zones on all approaches to the village and install a roundabout at its south end where the A94 splits with the B953.
