works to implement the second phase of the 20 MPH zone are due to
commence on Monday 20 April. Phase 2 extends the 20 MPH zone constructed last summer and consulted
on in April and July 2008. The 20 MPH zone is being extended to Walpole Road, Carysfort Road, Campbell
Road, Hamilton Road, Borthwick Road, Churchill Road, Tower Road and Palmerston Road (part).
Plans of the scheme can be viewed at the Town Hall Annexe, Boscombe Library or online at
http://www.bournemouth.gov.uk/Residents/roads/Highways_Consultation.asp . Monitoring of the first
phase of the 20 zone has shown a reduction in both vehicle speeds and road accidents. |
