PR1116 Proposed 20mph and 40mph Speed Limits – Various Roads, Hilton

Hilton Parish Council has been working for several years to introduce a 20mph speed limit throughout the village. However, in order to comply with Cambridgeshire County Council’s policy, under whose authority this consultation is being conducted, the Council has reluctantly revised its original plan. The updated proposal now excludes The Green and part of Potton Road, which will remain at 30mph.

The rest of the village is set to become a 20mph zone, with additional 40mph buffer zones on Graveley Way, St Ives Road, and Potton Road to help reduce vehicle speeds before entering the village.

Residents are strongly encouraged to take part in the consultation by following the link below.

Here is the original email from Cambridgeshire County Council:

Cambridgeshire County Council has published the above-named proposal.

Further details can be found on our online traffic portal at https://consultation.appyway.com/huntingdonshire and select the Order “CCC (Various Roads Hilton) (Speed Limits) (Consolidation) Order 2025”.

In summary, the proposals are as follows:-

• Introduce a 20mph speed limit on most residential roads in Hilton, except for several more lightly built-up roads.
• Introduce 40mph speed limit buffers on B1040 Potton Road, B1040 St. Ives Road and Graveley Road.
