PLANS are driving forward to reduce speed limits in Saline and Steelend.

Concerns over safety due to the speed of vehicles on the B913 in Saline and the B914 in Steelend were raised earlier his year.

For the past two years, the community council and local residents have been campaigning for awareness and asking for help to reduce driving speeds through their villages.

They’ve been engaging with Police Scotland, using pop-up policemen, and various other methods to try to slow drivers entering the villages down.

In June, a motion raised by Cllrs Sam Steele and Graeme Downie noted the “ongoing concerns” of residents “over speeding traffic entering and passing through both villages” and acknowledged the proximity of Main Street, Saline local amenities and the Saline Primary School.

This week, members of Fife Council's South and West Fife area committee agreed to a Traffic Regulation Order which would see a 20mph speed limit brought in on the B913 Main Street and West Road in Saline and on various residential roads constructed, or soon to be constructed within housing developments in the village.

A 30 mph speed limit on the B914 Main Road and associated side roads in Steelend is also set to be implemented.

Cllr Steele welcomed the measures and said the Steelend concerns are raised at every community council meeting.

She added: "The community council and residents are delighted this is coming up to area committee."
