@FidelUK Nothing will change until the right to impose 20 mph speed limits by councils is revoked entirely.

[Richard Wellings @RichardWellings]

It's suspected that many of the policies said to "help pedestrians" are primarily implemented in order to further persecute motorists by narrowing roads, restricting access and removing parking spaces. https://t.co/fx4LKRJev6

⚠️ This 508t vehicle is entering Cheshire after passing through Talke/Newcastle. Police are holding traffic as it approaches Congleton on the A34.

The 5.8m wide load is travelling from Stafford to Ellesmere Port over the weekend. It is being escorted by police and is moving slowly. Expect delays.

The 96m long vehicle has come from GE Vernova's factory in Stafford, transporting a Supergrid Transformer within a girder frame trailer. It has mant axles to evenly distribute the weight.

Today's route (Staffs):
• Ranshaw Dr to Riverway by Hough Retail Park
• A34 via Lichfield Rd & Queensway passed Stafford centre
• A518 via Lammascote Rd, Weston Rd & Beaconside
• A34 north via Stone Rd
• A34 contraflow passed Stone
• Back onto A34 north at Darlaston
• Continues on A34 via Trentham & Hanford
• A527 & A52 contraflow around Newcastle-under-Lyme centre (via 'Fountains Roundabout')
• Back onto A34 via Lower Street & Liverpool Rd
• A34 from Newcastle Rd onto Congleton Rd at Talke (via 'Box Crossroads')
• A34 into Padgbury Ln & Box Ln in Congleton, Cheshire
• It will stop for the night in the A54 area

Will post tomorrow's route later.

The above info is based on previous moves by Collett from Stafford to Ellesmere Port. The order typically covers Saturday, Sunday & Monday.

The gross vehicle weight is 508 tonnes. It is 96 metres long and 5.8 metres wide. Due to these oversized dimensions it must take a complex route that includes occupying the opposite side of the carriageway.

Some fools still think the legacy news is real. Amazing.

Key commuter routes could see 20mph zones imposed https://t.co/N0YfLbgVRN

[BILL ARMSTRONG @Bilstro]

More green virtue signalling money waste for Cambridgeshire. First fill in the pot holes in the roads before more unused cycle ways & stupid 20mph zones.

[Declan O'Mahony @OMahonyDeclan]

@HowardCCox @dailyexpress Part of the problem is that the Government funds these crazy schemes so that Councils can signal their virtue without bearing the costs. A sane Government would immediately shut down these slush funds for 20mph zones, better bus stops etc.

[R B Collie Esq 🙏✝️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🇺🇲🇹🇭 @georgecollie235]

This policy is insane....

Councils spend £42m on 20mph zones – enough to fix half a million potholes

[Richard Wellings @RichardWellings]

The imposition of 20mph zones has been decided outside democracy by transnational "elite" bodies like the UN and WHO. This explains why councils ignore public opposition and also why nearly identical (30km/h) policies are being implemented across the West: https://t.co/JTX7TxQEkF

[The Fox 👤 @TheFox89688362]

A report published by Bath and North East Somerset Council has found that the rates of people killed or seriously injured went up in the majority of 20mph zones in the 12 months after they were installed at a cost of £871,000.

Fury as UK councils spend £41.9m introducing 20mph limits https://t.co/ZoW8lWSrZp

[Mike Graham 🇬🇧 @Iromg]

Who voted for 20mph zones in Britain?

[Reform UK Wales @RUKWales]

Reform will scrap default 20mph zones

https://t.co/fxqgRXHtsH

[DEESIDE.com @DeesideDotCom]

Flintshire is among the 10 highest spending authorities in the UK on 20mph zones in the last three years.

The authority spent £1,796,000 on changing roads to 20mph – the eighth highest in Britain. In Wales only Swansea spent more.

[Richard Wellings @RichardWellings]

Blanket 20mph zones were never about common sense. They were designed to nudge drivers out of their cars as part of the wider assault on travel and mobility; imposed despite officials knowing the economic costs would far outweigh the benefits. https://t.co/3fDpgPvdPO

[Motoring & Communities Group @MaCgroupUK]

Say No to 20mph limits costing the economy & drivers 50% more in fuel .

[Howard Cox @HowardCCox]

See my comments on Confused dot com's analysis in @DailyExpress's article about more authorities upgrading 20 mph roads to 30mph

Their report tells us Britain's 20mph rollout has become an expensive political virtue-signalling ideology rather than effective transportation policy

[Reform UK Wales @RUKWales]

Tonight, the Senedd finally backed plans for an M4 Relief Road.

Reform has dragged the establishment kicking and screaming towards common sense.

Should the UK scrap all of its Net-Zero Commitment?
