Bury Council is consulting on a proposed 20mph zone on the stretch of Heys Road as it passes Prestwich Arts College.

Houses fronting on to the scheme will receive a consultation letter (copy here) on 24th July and comments are sought before 14 August 2009. It is hoped that the scheme will come to the Local Area Partnership meeting on 1 October 2009.

The scheme includes the provision of four sets of speed “cushions” and a raised table outside of the School.

Local Councillors have been calling for 20mph safety zones outside all of our schools to reduce accidents.
