A petition signed by Milton Keynes residents for the entire Caldecotte estate to have a 20MPH speed limit will now be considered in the council's 2024/25 work programme.
Cllr Victoria Hopkins, ward Councillor for Danesborough & Walton at MK City Council (which includes Caldecotte) is delighted to see that following a local petition from residents in the popular city estate, the council has included the entire Caldecotte estate as a 20 MPH Zone for consideration in its work programme for 2024/25.
Cllr Hopkins said "This is a real example of people power with resident’s petition signatures calling for 20 MPH zones which once again is ensuring that bottom up, street led campaigning by residents has the desired effect. I was delighted to present the petition on their behalf at MK City Full Council meeting on 19 June."
Cllr Hopkins is now campaigning for additional safety measures on the nearby Wavendon Gate estate where local people have expressed the need for a 20 MPH estate wide limit in their area, blended with improved use and deployment of yellow lines together with signage and a traffic management solution that addresses the concerns of residents through Walton Road in Wavendon village and Passalewe Lane / Isaacson Drive in Wavendon Gate once and for all.
