1. I am hoping to get information as to why the B1191 was reduced from national speed limit to 40 MPH, yet the road surface has still not been fixed.
- Decision

1. The speed limit was introduced due to the varying conditions on the road, where Lincolnshire County Council (LCC) has undulating and damaged sections that need repairing.
There is a scheme programmed to start in mid-June 2020 to repair these areas. LCC are allowed to place a temporary speed limit on a road for a period of 18 months.
Due to the condition at the time and knowing LCC had works planned, LCC took the decision to reduce the speed limit in a bid to slow down traffic and make highway users journeys safer.
Once the works are completed the speed limit will be usual national speed limit, 60mph.
