Residents and officials in Chippenham oppose Wiltshire Council’s plan to keep a 70mph speed limit on parts of the A350, demanding a uniform 50mph limit for safety and noise reduction.
Residents and officials in Chippenham are opposing Wiltshire Council’s plan to maintain a 70mph speed limit on parts of the upgraded A350 dual carriageway, citing noise, safety, and quality-of-life concerns.
The project, expected to finish by winter 2026, includes new stretches with 40mph and 50mph zones at roundabouts, but the proposed 70mph limit on other sections has drawn strong local pushback.
Town councillors and residents are urging a 50mph limit for the entire bypass, arguing lower speeds would reduce noise and improve safety near homes.
Council officials say the current plan enhances traffic flow and safety, but public feedback will be reviewed before final decisions.
