A new 20mph limit is coming into force in the lanes between Saltford and Keynsham.

The new speed limit replaces the existing de-restricted speed limit on Manor Road and Courtenay Road.

Following a request by Saltford Parish Council in September 2023, Bath & North East Somerset Council has now agreed to introduce 20mph, which is set to come into effect on 29th December.

The scheme is part of B&NES Council’s 2025/26 Local Active Travel and Safety Programme.

Saltford Parish Council says the change will make the lanes safer for walkers, cyclists, horse riders and all road users while preserving the rural character of the area.

B&NES Council received 38 responses expressing support for the proposals and no objections.

Saltford Parish Council has thanked everyone who supported lowering the limit.
