Residents and businesses in Welshpool are being urged to have their say on which 20mph roads in the area should be returned to 30mph.
A consultation in Powys, linked to the Welsh Government review consideration, will close on August 31. Suggestions can also be made on moving from 30mph to 20mph.
A statement from Powys County Council said: "All feedback received by 31 August will then be considered against the parameters within the guidance recently published by Welsh Government setting 30mph limits on restricted roads. Any section of road deemed suitable for a change, either back to 30mph or down to 20mph, will be collated, identified on a map and shared with local members and Town and Community Councils for any further comment.
"Following this, any recommendations to change the speed limits will then be subject to a legal statuary traffic regulation order (TRO) process, which will include a public consultation, before any changes are implemented."
Cllr Jackie Charlton, Cabinet Member for a Greener Powys urges residents and businesses to get in touch if they would like their views on local speed limits listened too as part of this review. “Listening to our communities is really important to us in Powys and many of you have already got in touch. But there is still time to hear from anyone else who thinks that a specific road in their area should change from 20mph to 30mph, change from 30mph to 20mph or stay at 20mph.
“When you email us, please be clear and precise about which section of road you are talking about and give reasons for your views.
“Welsh Government has asked us to keep listening and receiving comments until the end of August. At this point we will begin reviewing all the feedback alongside the new exceptions guidance and consider if it is appropriate for the speed limit to change. This is likely to take several months and will go through the proper process and, where necessary, including public consultation.
“If you would like to get in touch about the 20mph speed limit in your area, please email traffic@powys.gov.uk”
