TWO Earls Colne roads could have new speed restrictions set in place.
Essex County Council has consulted on implementing a 20mph speed restriction on Rogers Avenue and Thomas Bell Road.
The speed limit will be for the entire lengths of both roads.
The roads are part of the De Vere Grove housing development.
The development has a mix of two, three, and four-bedroom houses and prices range from £555,000 to £565,000.
The reason for the restrictions is to reduce vehicle speeds and boost pedestrian safety.

A statement of reasons document said: “It is Essex County Council's policy that new housing estate roads are constructed to ensure, as far as is possible, that vehicle speeds are 24mph or below.
“This is done via the introduction of a 20mph zone and a variety of physical features.
“The road on this estate has been constructed in accordance with this policy and a 20mph zone is proposed to reinforce the physical features which includes raised tables, bends and tight bends.”
