MOTION WORDING

The following Notice of Motion has been submitted by Councillor Field and seconded by Councillor Wright.

 

Evidence shows that 20mph limits:

• improves the quality of life for those living in a 20mph zone

• reduces pollution 

 

This Council requests the Cabinet to:

Consider implementing a maximum speed limit of 20mph when adopting roads in new developments.
