Bath and North East Somerset council are hoping to change speed limits on some roads in Timsbury.
In a press release, they said: "Bath and North East Somerset Council proposes to make an order under provisions contained in the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, the effect of which will be that it is prohibited to drive a motor vehicle at a speed exceeding 20 miles per hour on the lengths of road shown in schedule 1 to this notice and the lengths of road shown in schedule 2 to this notice are removed from that schedule."
The schedules are as follows:
Schedule 1 - new 20mph speed limit zones
| Location | Length of road affected |
| Hayeswood Road | From its junction with North Road for a distance of 55 metres in a westerly direction. |
| Bloomfield Road | From its junction with North Road for a distance of 70 meters in a northerly direction. |

Full details of the proposals, including clear maps and a statement of the Council's reasons for the order, can be viewed at The One Stop Shops at The Hollies, Midsomer Norton and at Keynsham Civic Centre, Market Walk, Keynsham during normal office hours.
