DELAYED plans for speed reduction work on Walney are set to be completed in the early part of next year, a councillor has said. The measures aim to break up the long straight of Biggar Bank Road where racers heavily accelerate as the road speed switches between 30mph and 60mph. These plans have been long overdue for the residents and it looks as though the issue of speedsters in the area will soon come to an end. Completion of the £28,000 project was originally scheduled to be completed before January 2020, but was delayed, then when the coronavirus pandemic hit, the half complete measures were put on the backburner as Cumbria County Council had to re-prioritise in order to cope with the increased financia strain imposed on them.
