20mph zones near Schools within the County have been planned for sometime.

We are aware that such a zone near to Prudhoe West Academy is one of these that has been mentioned.

There have been delays in the roll out throughout the County and we are in discussions with NCC officers to try and ‘speed’ up the process.

It is appreciated that there has to be formal consultation on such a change and cost implications but we are concerned at the lack of progress.
