Overview

This consultation is about changes to speed limits in Moseley, Kings Heath, Springfield, Sparkbrook and parts of Balsall Heath. Before responding, you should look at the plans provided which will tell you the proposed speed limit for each road.

In 2013, we asked everyone in Birmingham about the principle of introducing 20mph speed limits on the city’s roads to improve safety and reduce the number of accidents. This area is the first where changes will take place. The purpose of this consultation is to ask local people about the appropriate speed limit for the roads in their area.
