A new 20mph speed limit will come into effect in a Norfolk town this week.

Norfolk County Council's new limit on the B1077 Queens Road in Attleborough comes into operation on Friday (September 11).

It means the speed limit on part of Queens Road, near the entrance to Lidl's car park, will be reduced from 30mph to 20mph.

It comes after the installation of a new pedestrian crossing on the road near the superstore, which has meant road closures.

The changes have been in the pipeline for years, with a 2023 Norfolk County Council report highlighting concerns over the safety of people, including children, crossing the road.
