Lancashire County Council acknowledges concerns about speeding on Carrwood Road but states that it will not implement additional measures due to the road's good safety record.
Lancashire County Council has said it is going to ‘prioritise’ road safety issues but has confirmed Carrwood Road will not see any extra measures.They have said there is “evidence to show that the 30mph speed limit is regularly exceeded” and that the council is “letting people down”.said: “We’re very aware of the concerns which people have raised about speeding on Carrwood Road and we have attended two on-site meetings with a local residents group.
“Carrwood Road has a good road safety record, therefore we cannot recommend further highway measures on this road at the present time.” “So far we have been lucky that no-one has been killed or seriously injured on Carrwood Road. There have been near misses but apparently these don’t count. Peter Tickle who is one of the campaigners responded to Lancashire County Council’s statement by saying it has “failed in it’s duty”.: “The main issue here is that traffic volumes have increased dramatically since Carrwood Road became the Cross Borough LInk Road in 2020 and that Lancashire County Council have failed in their duty to make road safety improvements to keep people safe when crossing the road.
