40mph buffer zone
After many years of campaigning, we are finally going to get a 40mph buffer zone at each end of the village, which will hopefully help to slow down the through traffic.
The proposal for the western end starts after the Knossington Rd junction; there is a view that it should be extended westward so that this historically dangerous junction is also within the 40mph zone. You can email highways@rutland.gov.uk...
