After years of trying by the Maidencombe Residents Association, 30 MPH speed limit roundels have been put up on the Teignmouth Road entering Maidencombe from Torquay.
Highways had consistently stated that no speed limit signs could be placed on Watcombe Hill after many requests by the Association.
Just by the notorious bend where the wall has been damaged on several occasions by vehicles, there is now a 30 MPH sign bearing the legend 'SPEED KILLS'.
Within 600 yards there's another new 30 MPH sign just before the English House reinforcing the warning. Only another 100 yards along is the original and hitherto sole speed limit sign with the speed camera logo.
I will be enquiring what new legislation has been implemented to allow these signs to be put up.
Highways had always resisted these requests in the past.
Better late than never and the action is to be applauded.
