A consultation is currently underway for the reduction of the speed limit from 60mph to 50mph on the A442 near Sutton Maddock. 

The change would apply to the length of the road from the Sutton Maddock Roundabout to the Shropshire/Telford & Wrekin borough boundary.

Shropshire Council say the change would "facilitate the safe passage of vehicles and improve road safety".
