Twenty is plenty say these villagers in Chewton Keynsham
By John Wimperis - Local Democracy Reporter 20th Feb 2023
This hamlet in B&NES has secured a safer 20mph speed limit for its winding lanes.
Drivers cutting through Chewton Keynsham will have to kill their speed, with the speed limit reduced from 30mph to 20mph.
The tiny village has narrow lanes with virtually no pavement.
Councillors Duncan Hounsell and Alastair Singleton represent the area on Bath and North East Somerset Council.
The councillors said: "We are delighted as the B&NES ward councillors to have secured the reduction in the speed limit for Chewton Keynsham from 30 mph to 20 mph.
"This change has been requested by residents for a long time and has received overwhelming local support."
The 20mph limit runs all through the village, covering part of Redlynch Lane and along the winding Chewton Road until it meets Wellsway on the edge of Keynsham.
The hamlet has had new road signs put in place and road markings painted to show the new speed limit.
