Speed limit for Tattershall Market Place

Work to get a 20mph speed limit for Tattershall Market Place.
Why is this important?
Because traffic along Sleaford Road which forms on side of the Market Place travels far too quickly. There is a central reservation in Sleaford Road that crosses to the Market Place but because there are blind bends north and south of the Market Place people crossing to that reservation are at risk. Traffic breaks the law and comes off the northern bend with only 20 yards to reservation. I know of several people who have had near misses and abuse from drivers who resented having to slow. Lodge Road joins Sleaford Road from Woodhall Spa just by the reservation making another hazard. It really is a miracle that there have not been deaths already. Another possibility is to introduce traffic light controlling the Lodge Road intersection. But as a first step to saving lives I advocate a 20mph speed limit on all roads through the Market Place. If that doe not work then there should be traffic lights.
