An advisory 20mph speed limit will be introduced on a road with two schools in Winterton.

North Lincolnshire Council made the decision to introduce the speed limit on West Street as part of a package of improvements along West Street to keep children safe when travelling to and from school.

Both Winterton Infant School and Winterton Junior School are on West Street.

Other measures include introducing enforceable parking restrictions including no-waiting and stopping zones, high profile signs and road markings. West Street and nearby streets have also been resurfaced as part of the overall improvements.
