Multiple roads across a Wiltshire town could have 20mph speed limits implemented.
Plans to lower the speed limits on several routes through Marlborough are set to move to a consultation stage this spring.
The proposals include several roads in an effort to improve road safety in the town, including George Lane and Hyde Lane.
Concerns about road safety on George Lane, where there are plans for more retirement flats, have previously been raised following incidents on the street.

Last year a car smashed into a house on George Lane and, while there are no suggestions this vehicle was speeding, this increased those concerns.
Marlborough Town Council has previously voiced strong support for a 20mph speed limit in George Lane.
The final plans, including the extent of the new speed limits, are currently being drawn up ahead of a public consultation.
Cllr Nick Holder, cabinet member for highways, said: “A Traffic Regulation Order consulting on a proposal to introduce a 20mph speed limit on Hyde Lane, Cross Lane, Back Lane, St John’s Close, George Lane, Culvermead Close and Ducks Meadow in Marlborough is currently being prepared and consultation will commence towards the end of April.”
