How to set up a 20mph campaign

20’s Plenty for Us helps volunteers to persuade elected Councillors to agree to 20mph limits. We recruit and assist people to be effective local activists for 20mph limit signs and education. Anyone can use our resources and advice to make lobbying easier. 20’s Plenty for Us is the leading UK campaign for 20mph. We are FREE to join. Contact us today to help you get civilised speeds.

Email [email protected] to join the campaign for default 20mph limits for most roads with signs, lines and driver education. Some roads can have other limits where warranted. We do not recommend you to campaign for blanket speeds, humps, single roads, part-time or voluntary limits.

Campaign Name This is usually your location, with an email of "[email protected]"

Who will lead? The best campaigns usually have more than one person to share the load

Ask other local campaigners about the state of play in your authority http://www.20splenty.org/local_campaigns

Who will grant you 20mph? While it varies between each Highway Authority, the key person is usually the cabinet member for transport. Other cabinet members and other Councillors can influence.  If your cabinet member is not supportive, then you will need to work upwards from your local Parish and Town Council and then through the District Council (if you have one).  Council officers, Directors of Public Health, Police and Crime Commissioners and other opinion formers can often help  

Publicity Do whatever you feel comfortable doing... tell others about your campaign, contact the local press, use social media.  20s Plenty for Us is active on Bluesky, on Twitter and on Facebook, where it also has a private group just for campaigners to share experiences in a safe environment. Obtain resources from our website and display our banners and posters
