Local campaigners have expressed their delight at the news that Norfolk County Council will carry out a review of the current 50mph speed limit on the A148 from Cromer to Aylmerton during the course of this year, thanks to successful lobbying by Trevor Ivory.

“We have been calling for action on this dangerous junction for some time and although many people have tried to help, we have not made much progress,” explained Holt Road resident and campaigner, Diana Meggy.

“But I am delighted that the County Council has now agreed with Mr Ivory to carry out a review of the speed limit not just on the approach to Cromer, but right out to Aylmerton and the dangerous crossroads at the Roman Camp pub,” she continued.

The County Council’s Cabinet Member for Planning and Transport, Adrian Gunson, has written to Mr Ivory confirming that a review of speed the speed limit will be carried out during the coming financial year, probably by the end of September.

“The County Council will now liaise with the parish Councils in Felbrigg and Aylmerton, where the dangerous junctions are located, to agree the location of the speed checks and will the consult with them on the results before making a decision as to what the speed limit should be,” explained Mr Ivory.

Mr Ivory, who has been campaigning on this issue since last year when a survey that he carried out of local people resulted in hundreds of people raising concerns about the safety of the junctions at the Roman Camp pub and at the Felbrigg Road, added, “The safety of these junctions is a big issue for local people and I am delighted to have been able to help them to make some progress. I shall now work with the Parish Councils and offer them any support that they need as we move forward.”
