We would like to set up a 20’s plenty for us campaign in Carisbrooke High Street on the Isle of Wight to support the safety of school children and families as well as the residents of the village.

Hi Mark. We would be pleased to help and will contact you. Rod

Hello, I would like to start a campaign in our village, how would I go about it. Your help and advice would be greatly appreciated. thanks, Darren

Hi Dani

WE would be pleased to help and will contact you by email.

Rod

We would love to start a campaign in our village, could you suggest the best process and the best way to organise appropriate signs.
We’re hoping to change the speed limit with highways in the long term, but very keen to raise awareness to drivers that they are putting children at risk during school drop off and pick up hours.

Hello … thanks so much for this site … very useful information on here.
Yes, we did air pollution monitoring in our local area of Camden and found that 82% of sites measured exceeded the legal limit of 40 ppm which is already dangerous … some by 2.5 times, and that is an average.
I have since started Camden Air Action. One of our first things is to start a petition to the council. Any help is very gratefully received.

Hello from Hartford, CT! I am part of a team which is working with the city to help make it a more safe and comfortable place for pedestrians and bicyclists. We have had numerous incidents of people walking and being struck by speeding vehicles. I was hoping to bring some information about your campaigns and what we might do to lower the official speed limits on some public rights of way. I notice only a few campaigns in the US have started, but any information I could bring to the team on what you do and how you may be able to help would be appreciated. Thank you very much!

How do I go about starting a campaign please for my street in Colchester? I approached my local Councillor who was no help whatsoever, in fact was quite rude

Hello, I am coordinating action in my street calling on the Borough council to reduce the speeds and possibly volumes of vehicles using our road as a rat run. We have established contact with the council through a petition signed by approximately 75% of residents calling on the council to look into the matter with a view to addressing the issues that concern us. we have had a very positive response and Council Officers have engaged with us, providing advice on how to build and refine our campaign demands through the 20s plenty for us idea and DIY Streets (SUSTRANS). We have been encouraged in the first instance to submit a request (demonstrably backed by the majority of residents) calling for a 20 mph speed limit. I a writing now to ask what sort of help you can give us in formalising our 20splentyforus campaign and more specifically help with drafting the wording for our petition to the borough council. Thank you for your help. Viv Burdon

Hi Dominic

We would be pleased to assist in forming a campaign. I will email you separately.

Just moved to a village on the Hampshire/Berkshire border with a 30mph limit. One of the routes into the village has two blind corners immediately followed by a duck pond (no pavement) and single pass humpback bridge and I’m concerned about the wellbeing of children who are often drawn to feed the ducks there.
What’s the best way to set up a 20isplenty campaign? Parish Council, Police, MP, Council or all of the above?
There’s a strong community and of it’s a case of getting signatures I’m sure this can be achieved (with the help of the village pub!)
Appreciate your advice.

Please keep on trying Andrew … 30 is just not good enough.
We heard a lot in the news last week that the UK has signed up for the Paris agreement which means the UK HAS to look at ways of reducing CO2 emissions to support our environment. That means local as well as national. A simple, cheap and safe way to do that is to REDUCE car speeds and local traffic given the volumes would make an ENORMOUS difference. Safety, Noise and in particular Lung health all play into the 20 argument. Lets keep lobbying our local residences, councils and MPs to make this happen up and down the country.

Hi,
We have tried to get a 20mph limit through our small village via the local and county council, using local councillors and MP but all to no avail. Cost and data showing the average speed of vehicles is 32mph. They have missed the point even 30 is too fast. We don’t have pavements and many premises including our village community centres entrance/exit go straight out onto the road. We would like to start our own campaign and would appreciate any help / support.

Hi Colin

Yes, councils will often make such comments to “manage expectations”. Goodness, if we do it for one village then they all will want 20mph limits!!!!

We believe that its about making the strong case for 20mph limits to create a moral, financial and political imperative to make a change. Once this is fully understood along with the benefits and gains from a 20mph limits then it is realised that 20mph limits return far more than they cost.

Sometimes it can seem slow progress, but gradually the UK is transitioning from a national 30mph to a situation where a 20mph limit is becoming the norm for urban and village roads. WE would be pleased to assist in your village.

Rod

I would like to see 20mph through our village but the county council say they have NO money to review! We live in a village near Knaresborough, Yorkshire

I am interested in starting a campaign in Wallingford, Oxfordshire

I am a local campaigner who has campaigned to save Derbyshire’s school crossing patrols, however our council chose to ignore the majority. I would initially like to start a campaign in the area where I live with hope that DCC will push it out throughout the county. I would love to hear from you on the best way to do this.

Thanks Mirrin. We will be contacting you to explain how we help local campaigns.

Hi there, how does one go about forming a campaign please?
