In plain English

Each sentence was checked against the passage it cites; how the checking works.

Noted · Received for information; no decision followed.

Spithurst Road in Spithurst, Barcombe parish, has a current speed limit of 40mph and a recorded average speed of 28mph; it meets policy for a 30mph limit but is not currently proposed for progression due to competing demands on available funding. p3 p4

Heathfield Road in Burwash Common, Burwash parish, has a current speed limit of 40mph and a recorded average speed of 38mph; it is not feasible for a signed-only 30mph limit because the average speed and road environment do not meet current policy, and traffic calming would be required. p12 p13

1 further sentence of this summary was held back by verification and is not shown. We only publish claims that survived checking against the cited passages.
