With Britain entering its third full national lockdown last month, residents have once again been asked to stay at home and only exercise in their local area.
But for many residents in Lickey End this has been made impossible by a local landowner who is waging a campaign of resistance to stop members of the public using a public right of way through their land.
The Bromsgrove Lib Dems are calling on Worcestershire County Council to review the speed limit on the A38. The A38 in Bromsgrove runs very close to houses, past a first school and has inadequate crossing points, yet it has a speed limit ranging from 40mph to 60mph throughout.
Cllr Siobhan Robinson who launched a petition along with local campaigner Joshua Robinson after being contacted by residents said, "We need to encourage more people to walk and cycle in our town to help cut congestion but how can we say this on one hand but also have the main road in our town reaching speeds of 60mph? Many residents have contacted me concerned about walking their children to school having to cross a road where cars are travelling so fast, I am concerned that if we do not reduce the speed limit those parents will get in their car or worse we will have an accident."
Bromsgrove Liberal Democrats would like to invite you to support us with our latest fundraiser - a fun online evening of quizzing to raise funds for the upcoming local council elections.
The quiz will be held via Zoom at 7pm on Friday 26th February 2021. Tickets are priced at just £5 per person.
Lib Dem Councillor Siobhan Robinson (formerly Hughes), who represents Bromsgrove Central was delighted to see that new recycling bins have been installed on Bromsgrove High Street.
Siobhan said: "I along with other Lib Dem colleagues have been calling for recycling bins on our high street for nearly two years now. I am glad to see the Conservatives now agree with us in the need for these after originally refusing to put them on our High Street."
The A38 through Bromsgrove is the main route through our town and passes close by houses and first schools and has inadequate crossing points throughout. Despite this the speed limit varies from 40mph to 60mph.
We are calling on Worcestershire County Council to review the speed limit and reduce it to make it safer for all road users and pedestrains.
