Reducing speed limits can, and does, save lives.

It is disappointing the Government will now not be rolling out changes to the national speed limit on some roads, despite recognising themselves that 'speed makes a difference' to safety.

One step closer to Burntisland harbour access. Pleased to hear the Cab Sec has listened to concerns raised by the local community. The council and Forth Ports must be held to account for removing access.
