More 20mph zones proposed for towns and villages

Lyme Regis is among 10 new areas where 20mph limits have been proposed

Residents are being asked to comment on plans to introduce 20mph limits in more parts of Dorset.

The schemes are being proposed for roads in 10 areas, including much of Lyme Regis.

It follows the implementation of 20mph limits in five towns and villages in recent weeks.

The latest consultation is open until 7 November.

Large parts of Lyme Regis are set to become 20mph zones under the plans

Parts of Briantspuddle, Bridport, Gillingham, Milborne St Andrew, Pymore, St Leonards and St Ives and Winterborne Whitechurch are also included in the plans.

Critics on local social media pages have called the schemes an "unnecessary expense" and part of an "anti-car agenda".

Dorset Green councillor for Lyme Regis and Charmouth, Belinda Bawden, said: "The aim is to make the town more pedestrian-friendly, calmer and safer for everyone."
