Roads in St Clement, St Lawrence, St Peter and St Brelade are among those that will have speed limits lowered to 30 mph from 40 mph in the move to be implemented this week.

Transport Minster Kevin Lewis said that it would cost about £5,000 to put up the necessary signs.

‘It will come from the TTS budget,’ he explained. ‘It’s all being done in-house.’ Deputy Lewis said that the changes came following requests from parish officials.
