I live just off this road and have had to take evasive action on more than 1 occasion while walking my dog on Sutton Lane.The speeds being done are frightening and with young children living yards away from this road , something has to be done to reduce the speed now!!

People drive down this road as fast as possible. There are family homes on the road.

Too many motorist not driving with due car & attention in rural areas - reduce all speed limits. Supports environment & road safety - cars have seats, climate control & audio entertainment so what's the rush? (Drive 30k miles per year, cycle 3k miles & walk 500 miles - have a balanced view)

As the owner of one and soon to be two businesses spanning the length of this section of the road, the speed at which people travel down it is completely unacceptable for both the safety of the visitors and the residents. There is no argument about this being a residential area and yet the main road (Derby Road) leading off Sutton Lane is limited to 40mph.

As the owner of the house that was crashed into which resulted in a fatality I can confirm the danger of such a high speed limit

I use the road regulalry for cycling up to the Derby and ashbourne areas. People travel way to fast. It's narrow, hidden drive ways, cyclists and walkers. I've had numerous close calls as people drive too fast round corners. Try to overtake me as an oncoming car is approaching far too fast. I could go on. The loss of life that happened on that road is appalling and to get to the speeds required to drive straight inside somebodies house is hard to imagibe. How the family living there were not hurt is beyond me and it is only a metter of time before it happens again.

I live on this road, and I agree that the speed limit is too much for the number of residents, walkers, and cyclists who use it.

Slower traffic will result in fewer deaths. No brainer

60mph is ridiculous for this narrow stretch of road with house frontages inches from the tarmac.

There is no need for high speed at this end of the road.
I support the petition.
