Norman Lamb, the Liberal Democrat MP for North Norfolk, has welcomed the news that Norfolk County Council plans to undertake safety improvements on Brick Kiln Road in North Walsham.

In a letter to Mr Lamb, the Council announced that they will be consulting on modifications to the existing speed reduction measures on Brick Kiln Road, namely:

• Conversion of the existing speed cushions outside the schools on Manor Road to full-width speed humps, 'to reduce traffic speed at this sensitive spot and to aid children/parents crossing'.

• Provision of two speed-reactive 20mph 'Slow Down' signs on Brick Kiln Road itself.

Commenting, Norman Lamb said: "I am very pleased that the County Council has decided to take some action on this issue, and hope that they will be implemented after consultation. I know that District Councillors Pat Ford and Peter Moore join me in welcoming the fact that local concerns have been recognised in this way."
