A considerable amount of preparatory work to introduce a speed limit for Castle Rising has been completed by Cllr Claire Smith and her Traffic Working Group. As a result, and based on this work, the Parish Council has been able to submit a formal request for a Feasibility Study to Norfolk County Council Highways. The Feasibility Study will be carried out by a team of road safety experts from Norfolk Highways who will assess the speed and volume of traffic through the village and recommend appropriate traffic calming measures, and in particular a reduction in the current de-restricted speed limit.

However, our request is now in a schedule together with all other parish requests across the County and, given the number of feasibility study requests the safety team has to get through, our study may not be completed until next year. This is an unfortunate delay, but we will have to be patient until it is our turn.

Any questions regarding traffic matters can be directed to Cllr Smith via email at clairepsmith.crpc@outlook.com or the Clerk at castlerisingpc@gmail.com .
