Dear Mr. Berendt,

Firstly please accept our apologies for the late response to your initial
request for information.

Please see below the response to your enquiry under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) / Environmental Information Regulations (EIR).

• Do you have plans in place to make 20mph the norm or default speed
limit for most restricted roads?

Response – The City of York Council already have many areas and
residential streets covered by 20mph speed limits, these are mostly in the
urban area within the outer ring road but also include school safety zones
elsewhere.  There are no current plans to make 20mph the default speed
limit for York, however, as of last Thursday (4/5/23), control of the
council has switched from a Lib-Dem / Green coalition to the Labour
party.  This could potentially bring about a change in policy in relation
to default speed limits, however, this is not a policy specifically
referred to in their election manifesto.

• Have you requested the UK Government to set 20mph as the default speed
limit for restricted roads in England?

Response – The City of York Council have not petitioned the UK Government
to set 20mph as the default speed limit for restricted roads in England.

• Are you committed to Vision Zero as part of your traffic/transport
strategy?

Response – The City of York Council are not currently committed to Vision
Zero but we are in the process of producing a new Local Transport Strategy
and Local Transport Plan which will have policies related to road safety
and a reduction of casualties and severity contained therein.  Whether
this stretches to adoption of a full Vision Zero strategy is yet to be
determined.

If you are dissatisfied with our response you have the right to ask for an
independent review of how your enquiry was handled and responded to. This
can be done by contacting us at [1][City of York Council request email]
within 40 working days of receiving your response, stating your reason(s)
why you are dissatisfied.

If you remain dissatisfied following the internal review response you can
contact the Information Commissioner, contact details below:

Tel: 0303 123 1113 or via their [2]live chat.

Their normal opening hours are Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm
(excluding bank holidays).
You can also report, enquire, register and raise complaints with the ICO
