Does the CC have to give a reason(s) for this? Have there been any nasty accidents?

My impression is that CC's have stopped listening to the police when it comes to anything road related.

I'm not a fan of this trend in case you were wondering

Unfortunately these superb driving roads are the ones where the plonkers get it all wrong and the 'safety' statistics go pear shaped.
It is also unfortunate that the politcal 'masters' and a large part of the community believe that by reducing the speed limit the problem will go away. Admittedly in some places it may, but like all road safety statistics there are too many factors which make comparisons unreliable.
I have asked Derbyshire CC for the statement of reasons and background info, with a view to Objecting (from long range ) if their arguments don't convince. I'll post any information that comes back here so everyone can join in .
