ePetition details

Speed limit and speed camera on Harley bank

We the undersigned petition the council to Make the harley bank speed limt on the A458 outside of much wenlock a maximum of 40mph from the current end of the 30mph just before the adventure cente, right through to yarchester barns at the bottom of the bank passed all the 90 degree bends and 12%incline.

Harley bank is a notoroius road traffic incident hot spot. There are so many hazards in that stretch of road from the edge of Much wenlock through to the begining of Harley village. Its a 12% incline with hazards of Deer, falling rocks, 90 degree bends, hidden drives and track and road exits,queueing traffic round blind bends, footpath crossings with no footpath for 200 yards, children at the adventure centre, farm vehicles. All along that mile stretch there are accidents all year round and some very bad with people injured in over turned cars, dead animals damage to property casuing more hazards. it is only a matter of time before more than animal lives are lost and that is bad enough! The same properties asre damaged year in year out where cars plough through walls with the road being closed and people taken to hospital on regular basis. the road is far too fast people drive up and down there losing control. Reducing the speed limit will help to reduce risk. Put a speed camera down the bank if you must to control the traffic here.

This ePetition runs from 05/11/2025 to 08/01/2026.
