Road safety campaigners have slammed ‘irresponsible’ town hall bosses for promoting 30mph speed limits near schools.
Stockport council is currently putting up speed awareness signs close to schools as part of a Greater Manchester-wide campaign. Banners will also be placed on railings next to school entrances.
The first signs were installed outside Cheadle Heath Primary School and the roll out is set to continue across the borough over the next 18 months.The authority has plans to introduce 20mph limits on residential roads but says this will take time, and the current campaign is an ‘appropriate activity’, to 'immediately encouraging safer driving practices’.
