Proceeding contribution from Lord Bradshaw (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 4 July 2005. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Road Safety Bill [HL].


Road Safety Bill [HL]

I am content. However, I represent two settlements on the county council. One has no street lights, but has repeater signs all around the village. They cannot be seen in the dark, but they are there. From the other place I am inundated with residents’ complaints about speeding. A child was knocked off her bicycle and almost killed there last week. The place is about two miles long with street lights, and there is no repeater at all. Even the parish council, which would wish to do so, is not allowed to put up any signs advising people that they are still in a 30 mph limit. I find that incredible. If it is the situation, it is one with which I am not content.
