29 July 2008

Dear Mr Mawby ,

FREEDOM of INFORMATION ACT 2000

Thank you for your request for Information, received at this office on 24
July 2008, in which you requested details of the following:
Please can you tell me when the speed limit on the A143 changed from 60
MPH to 30 MPH and what legislation was used to introduce this limit.

Please can you also tell me whether the correct legislation was used
initially to introduce the 30 MPH limit and whether alternative
legislation was used to correct any mistakes

Please can you tell me how many fixed Penalty notices have been issued for
speeding on the A143 in Wattisfield since the speed limit changed form 60
MPH to 30 MPH

Please can you also tell me how many of these fixed Penalty notices have
been withdrawn once the legality of the 30 MPH limit was challenged.

Your request will now be considered and you will receive a response within
the statutory timescale of 20 working days as defined by the Act, subject
to the information not being exempt or containing a reference to a third
party. In some circumstances Suffolk Constabulary may be unable to achieve
this deadline. If this is likely you will be informed and given a revised
time-scale at the earliest opportunity.

There may be a fee payable for the retrieval, collation and provision of
the information you request. If this is the case you will be informed and
the 20 working day timescale will be suspended until we receive payment
from you. If you chose not to make a payment then your request will remain
unanswered.

Some requests may also require either full or partial transference to
another public authority in order to answer your query in the fullest
possible way. Again, you will be informed if this is the case.

We anticipate being able to provide you with information that you have
requested by 21 August 2008.

Should you need to discuss this further please contact Me on 01473 613919
