ePetition details
Stop the 20 MPH proposals.
We the undersigned petition the council to cancel the proposed extension of the 20 MPH speed limit to Woodthorpe, Acomb, Foxwood and surrounding area. At a cost of £600,000 for something that even the police do not want and admit is unenforceable is a total waste of council tax payers money.
Evidence from across Europe where similar schemes have been introduced suggest that reducing the speed limit to 20 MPH has minimal effect on accident rates. It would be better and cheaper to enforce the current 30 MPH limit.
