Cumberland Council is inviting residents, businesses and road users to have their say on a series of proposed speed limit changes across North Cumberland as part of its ongoing commitment to improving road safety across the area.
An informal consultation on 22 Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) will run from Monday 17 August to Monday 7 September 2026, giving local communities the opportunity to review the proposals and provide feedback.
The North Cumberland Speed Limit Review forms part of Cumberland Council's wider programme of work to ensure speed limits are appropriate for the roads they serve, helping to support safer journeys for residents, businesses and visitors.
All responses received during the consultation period will be carefully considered before any decisions are made on whether the proposals should progress to the formal Traffic Regulation Order process. Any proposals taken forward would then be subject to statutory consultation and public advertisement later in the year.
The proposals and supporting information will be available to view on the council's Traffic Regulation Order webpage from Monday 17 August http://www.cumberland.gov.uk/proposedtros
Anyone wishing to comment on any of the proposals can submit their views by email to [email protected]. Responses must be received by Monday 7 September 2026 and should clearly quote the proposal number and location. Comments both in support of, and objecting to, the proposals are welcome.
