If you wish to question the validity of the Order (which was made on 17th of June 2026) or of any provisions contained in it on the grounds that it is not within the powers conferred by the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, or on the grounds that any requirement of that Act, or of any instrument made under it has not been complied with in relation to the Order, you may, within six weeks from the 17th of June 2026 apply to the High Court for this purpose.
THIS ORDER WILL COME INTO FORCE ON SUNDAY 06th DAY OF JULY 2026.
The proposal looks to amend the speed limit from being a 50mph and reducing it to a 40mph. Reducing the speed of the road(s) would help with road safety and reduce Co2 emissions around the aerodrome.
