Nick Timothy, the MP for West Suffolk, is standing with residents in their call for a lower speed limit on the A143 at Wickham Street.
The junction there can be dangerous and was the location of a collision between a bus and car that caused injury last November.
Nick met members of Wickhambrook Parish Council to inspect the junction recently and then joined more residents at a nearby pub to hear their views.
Following the inspection and meeting, Mr Timothy said: “Thank you to the residents for drawing attention to this dangerous junction, and for telling me about their experiences. The volume of heavy goods vehicles on the A143, and the fact that this is a residential area where people walk their dogs and where children play, makes it clear that action needs to be taken. It’s far better to lower the speed limit now before any more accidents occur.
“I’ve written to Suffolk County Council to add my voice to the case for bringing the speed limit down from the present 40 miles per hour to 30 miles per hour.”
