20mph campaign for our residential streets
Afternoon all,This campaign has recently got started asking the council to consult with the borough on introducing a 20mph limit on all residential roads and local shopping streets. If it were implemented, it would not be through the introduction of more speed bumps. A general 20mph speed limit will mean:Fewer deaths and injuries on our roads.Safer for our children to walk or cycle to school.Less noise from speeding vehicles.Cleaner Air.Streets more pleasant to live and move around in and enjoy.This petition is supported by the following local voluntary groups in Wandsworth: Battersea Society; Putney Society; Wandsworth Cycling Campaign; Wandsworth Society; Wandsworth Environment Forum; Wandsworth Living Streets; Wandsworth Friends of the Earth.There is an e-petition currently live through the council website:http://www.wandsworth.gov.uk/moderngov/mgEPetitionDisplay.aspx?ID=40A paper version is also available if needed. I do hope that you will be supportive of this. If you'd like to get involved, help out further and/or know more drop me a line.Kind regards,Jon81 Selkirk RdSW17 0EW07748 150004jon.irwin@gmail.comPS If you know of others who may also be interested, please do forward this message to them.
