Chris Loder, MP for West Dorset, has written to Yetminster and Ryme Intrinseca Parish Council to express his support for the parish’s applications for a 20 mph speed limit in both villages. It follows the Parish Council’s recent consultation exercise demonstrating a large number of people favour a reduction in the local speed limits.
The local MP said: “I am aware from my local surgeries and correspondence to my office of the concerns residents of Yetminster and Ryme Intrinseca have with regard to excessive speeds on the local road network. I am pleased to offer my support to the council’s applications, which I feel will have the potential to provide the reassurance that the community is seeking.”
He continued: “Only last week did I launch a campaign to implement average speed cameras on the A30 situated not that far from these villages. Road safety is of paramount importance to me, and I will support measures that ensure the safety of West Dorset residents.”
