Subject: Freedom of Information request - Council Climate Change Action
Scorecard and 20mph speed limits
 
This is an EXTERNAL EMAIL. STOP. THINK before you CLICK links or OPEN
attachments.

Dear West Berkshire Council,

One of the criteria in the Council Climate Change Action Scorecard is a
Local Authority's commitment to a 20mph speed limit on restricted roads. 
Local Authorities in Wales and in Scotland will soon be implementing 20mph
as a national norm.

In order to assess progress towards 20mph in England, 20's Plenty for Us
requests answers from West Berkshire Council to the following:  

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

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

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

Yours faithfully,

Adrian Berendt
