People have their last chance to have their say on plans to install traffic calming measures and reduce the speed limit on a road to a new housing estate in Wolverhampton.

City of Wolverhampton Council is consulting on proposals to limit the speed limit on the newly created Walda Drive, at Low Hill, to 20mph.

It is also planning to build three sets of raised tables - sections of the road which are level with the pavement.

The speed limit would apply to the entirety of the road from the junction with Old Fallings Crescent.

The council said the restrictions, to reduce vehicle speed and improve road safety for all road users, were required to comply with planning conditions for the new development.

Plans to build 24 new homes on the site of a former adventure playground were approved in December 2023.

The consultation closes on Friday.
