THE NORFOLK COUNTY COUNCIL

The Norfolk County Council propose to make the above-mentioned Order under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 with the variation detailed at point 2 below permanently introducing a 20mph speed limit along the specified length of A1065 London Street/Brandon Road.

The effect of this Order will be to:

1. Consolidate "The Norfolk County Council (Swaffham, Various Roads) (20 mph Speed Limit) Order 2006 ("2006 Order")" whereby the existing 20mph Speed Limits on the existing lengths of road will not be changed just re-produced in the consolidated order except as per the variation detailed in point 2.

2. Vary the 2006 Order by replacing the current reference to A1065 London Road with the following length of road: 

   A1065 London Street / Brandon Road

   From its junction with the C563 Market Place southwards to a point 40 metres south of its junction with C768 Watton Road.

    

The existing Norfolk County Council (Swaffham, A1065 London Street/Brandon Road) (20mph Speed Limit) Experimental Traffic Regulation Order 2024 shall be revoked on commencement of the above-named proposed consolidation order.

The entry in The County Council of Norfolk (Built Up Areas) No.2 Order 1939 referring to roads A1065 Brandon Road and B1077 will be revoked to allow the 20mph speed limit to be put in place. The remainder of the 1939 order will be unaffected.
