Reviewing Speed Limits in Tonbridge

Martin Webber has been speaking to Kent County Council's Cabinet member for Highways and Transport, David Brazier.

The main roads in Tonbridge had been reduced to 20 mph but then most of them have been returned to 30 mph except in the very middle of the town.  Some residents welcomed the lower speeds on safety grounds but others said the 20 limit on wide main roads was "ridiculous".
