There’ll be no speed bumps included in government’s plans to make the main road in Kirk Michael safer.

That’s according to Michael Commissioner Carole Lillywhite, who’s encouraging villagers to attend a public meeting with the Department of Infrastructure on Tuesday (14 Jan).

The department will reveal its proposals to update the road design in Kirk Michael at the school sports hall from 7pm

Villagers made it clear at a public meeting last year that traffic speeds on the main road were unacceptable, but opinion was divided on how to solve the issue.
