Parts of School Lane and Burnthouse Lane will be closed at times between 18/08 and 22/08 for installation of the 20mph zone.  The two roads will not be both closed at the same time and access to properties will be maintained.  Hopefully, the junction of Colney Lane and the B1172 will be open by then and that will reduce the traffic trying to come through LM. 

We hope that the reduced speed limit will eventually influence Google Maps to stop routing HGVs going to the food park through LM when coming from the east of Thickthorn.  The HGV route along the B1172 is a shorter distance but Google Maps must be making unrealistic assumptions about the speed that HGVs are going to achieve through the village.  This has been flagged up to Google but no response was received.

See https://one.network/ for latest info on road closures.
