Letter: Speed cuts a deer waste of money
Letter: Councillors plan to spend more than £30,000 on reducing the speed limit from 60 to 50mph on the A4169 between Much Wenlock and Buildwas because of a number of accidents involving deer.
Letter: A report on April 1 said that councillors plan to spend more than £30,000 on reducing the speed limit from 60 to 50mph on the A4169 between Much Wenlock and Buildwas (I am assuming this was not a wind-up considering the date).
Apparently this move follows a number of accidents involving deer.
Hopefully the deer will now be delighted to risk being hit at only 50mph and not 60mph.
I am sure readers will agree that this, like for example the 60mph speed limit on the A442 Eastern Primary, is a waste of public funds since that speed limit is not adhered to, with probably 75 per cent of drivers overtaking and not at 62mph either.
I suggest councillors that if you have £30,000 to spend on roads that you fill in a few of the more potentially dangerous potholes.
