discussed at the Next Parish Council meeting on 12 January 2009. The latest
proposal will be on display and incorporate comments from the Parish Council and
East Northants Council. There will be an opportunity during the meeting to make
your views known.

The Parish Council would like Parishioners to comment the following
options:
-
Should the whole of Taylors Green be included within the 30 mph zone? At
present the speed limit on this road is 60 MPH. However, speed limits can
only change by a maximum of 30 mph. Therefore, there would need to be a
section of Taylors Green at 30 mph prior to the start of the 20 mph zone at Spinny Close.
-
Should Stamford Lane be included in the 20 mph zone. If this were the
case, the 20 mph zone would need to start on Peterborough Road before the Eaglethorpe Junction.
The Parish Council is committed to keeping the road signs and road
markings to a minimum and giving careful consideration to their placing to
maintain the character of the village.
