Dear Sir or Madam,

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have been withdrawn once the legality of the 30 MPH limit was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.

Yours faithfully,

Mr D Mawby
