    Long-standing Cross border speeding issue in Saltney Wales/England – officially 30mph but abused on a daily basis, Looking for support to set up deterrents to encourage drivers to reduce speed to respect 30mph or ideally reduce speeds on the roads to 20mph – Any advise or offers of help will be most welcome from either side of the border!!! – Many serious accidents recorded plus even more minor ones due to excessive speeds

    Hi,

    I live in a small village where the parish council has the older, smaller streets still set at 30MPH. I’d like to start a 20’s plenty campaign for the narrower streets of the village.

    I would like help starting a campaign in my hometown of Richland, WA. The population is around 55k. We are about 200 miles from Seattle, WA. The culture here is not pedestrian friendly. My neighborhood would be supportive. The person in charge of traffic for the city does not think we have enough pedestrian and bicyclist fatalities (340 in 13yrs) to warrant a program. Where do you recommend I start?

    I would like to start a campaign for the village of Honeybourne in Worcestershire. The High Street is very narrow and cars often speed but worse is that the pavements are narrow and children are walking to school and at times vehicles are very close to or mounting the kerb as they overtake parked cars. I would like to say motorists slow down when its school drop off / pick up but they do not. Also the Weston Road by a busy crossroads and school bus stop is another concern. Any help to start a campaign would be much appreciated.

    I would like to set up a campaign to establish a 20mph limit in central Romsey. Ours is a market town with narrow pavements, shared space, and a high proportion of elderly residents. It is a through route from Southampton to Andover and beyond. There has been much talk on Facebook of a lower limit, but no action, and the parish (town) council seems unenthusiastic. I would like to make a serious effort on this campaign, with your help.

    Hi
    We live in a mainly linear village with masses of through traffic of all shapes and sizes. The village lies on a popular truck route to the A303 and is also in a rural setting with much modern heavy agricultural traffic. There is a footpath on one side, extremely narrow in places. A fairly recent traffic calming scheme introduced a number of chicanes in an attempt to slow traffic but has had the unintended consequence of tempting traffic to sprint between the chicanes. Parked cars down one side reduce traffic to single lane which exacerbates the sprinting. At the top of the village we have a VC Primary School and there has been a suggestion that a 20mph limit might be imposed there but no action so far.

    Hi 20s plenty team! We are in an old village that is effectively a cul de sac, i.e. no through traffic. The locals respect a slow pace, but occasionally others take a different approach with devastating consequences.
    The assumption that 30mph limit is suitable in narrow / blind lanes causes many a fatality to wild animals and domestic pets, and even worse a child on his bicycle was knocked over and killed some time ago.
    It has crossed my mind for some time that a 20mph limit would be more appropriate. How can we get started! I would really like to engage my parish council with you, so any information would be much appreciated.

    Hi,
    We live in a residential street in Emsworth, Hampshire mainly populated by the elderly. It leads into a road which has a primary school which already has the 20 is plenty signs up, but these are only within approx 50 yards of the school. The road is used as a rat run, and speeds are often ridiculous, particularly when you consider the population is mainly people with limited mobility, hearing and sight. Permission is currently being drawn up to build 130 houses in the immediate vicinity which will only fuel the situation. I am really keen to organise a campaign for 20 is plenty signs, and would appreciate all the help I can get. Many thanks.

    HI I am after advice about setting up a campaign in our street in Keynsham, Bristol. It is a 20mph zone but is largely and often seriously ignored. Getting nowhere with the local MP & Council. All help appreciated.

    Hi Steve

    Don’t worry, you don’t have to be anti-car to campaign for appropriate speed limits. Most of our campaigners are drivers who just want their communities to be better places to be, including driving. We would be pleased to help and the best we can do is help set up a 20’s Plenty for Witham campaign. There are 20’s Plenty for Us campaigns in Chelmsford, Brentwood, Basildon, Colchester, Dengie, West Horndon, Epping Forest and Coggleshall.

    Our campaign manager, Anna Semlyen will contact you shortly by email. explaining how we can help..

    Hello, I live in the small mid-Essex town of Witham (CM8). We seem to have a growing problem with drivers whizzing round the town at speeds well in excess of 30mph. Yesterday someone got hit by a car (driver arrested for dangerous driving and not stopping at the scene of an accident), and today there were press reports of a cyclist being knocked off and I saw a 2 car smash at about 6:15 this morning!

    I have found out that Essex County Council would be responsible for establishing a 20mph speed limit in our town and am trying to get them to tell what the process is for establishing it. In the meantime it would be useful to know how you could help.

    For the record, I’m not anti-car as I am a driver as well as a cyclist and pedestrian.

    All the best
