I was reading on my local BBC news site a story (full story at bottom of posting)....
Green charity blasts road U-turn A decision to allow a 60mph limit on one of Telford's main roads has been criticised by green campaigners. Telford and Wrekin Council had planned to reduce the speed limit on the A442 from 70mph to 50mph but decided on a 60mph limit after public consultation.
Friends of the Earth said the higher speed limit would mean more accidents and higher fuel emissions from cars.
The council said 80% of those consulted had preferred the 60mph option and police said it was a suitable limit.
