Almost every road throughout Stornoway faces having its speed limit cut to 20mph.
Anyone who wants to object to this policy only has a few hours left to do it.
Comhairle nan Eilean Siar says you have until Friday (15 January) at 4pm.
But you can’t just object.
You must give a good reason and explain which road or roads you are talking about.
Here’s where the plans are laid out.

The scheme will also see the implementation of a 20mph limit in Balivanich and Castlebay; and a combination of a 20mph and 30mph limit in Tarbert.
Any person wishing to object to the proposed Orders should send details in writing, either by email to This email address is being protected from spambots.

Objections should state the full name and address of the objector, the Order to which they relate and the grounds on which they are made.
In Stornoway, CnES says the 20mph speed limit will cover the majority of Stornoway town centre and also some residential and industrial areas. The Experimental Order is intended to operate for a period of 12 months. Following this period, the effects of the Order will be assessed along with its suitability to be made permanent.
