Cycle campaigning

Great Work!

Rumour has it, we may be about to have our way in Southwark. The Council is strongly hinting that it will soon make an announcement about plans for a 20 mph speed limit on the roads it controls in the borough. About time too!

Peter John, leader of the Council, just told me on Twitter: "Hoping to make an announcement on this soon."

Cllr Hargrove said today: "Speed on our roads and speed on TfL roads has to be slowed down We really do need to cut speeds. If there is a legacy for Hichame Bouadimi, Ellie Carey and all the other unecessary deaths on our roads, it has to be that speeds on our roads of our cities are cut. We will be taking this forward as a council to say that 30 mph on our roads is too much and we want those speeds cut."
