Is 20 plenty?

20’s already Plenty for 21 million UK people – Why 20’s Plenty for Macclesfield Roads

Come along to Macctastic Eco Network’s ninth open meeting, to hear Rod King, MBE, Founder and Campaign Director, talk about what can be done to make car travel safer and more eco friendly in Cheshire East:

“20’s already plenty is a campaign for 20mph to become the default speed limit on residential and urban streets. This can be done on most streets without the need for any physical calming and we accept that on some streets it may be appropriate to have a higher limit based on the road, vulnerable road users provision, etc. But any limit above 20mph should be a considered decision based on local circumstances.” Link for information: http://www.20splenty.org/

Meeting highlights:

• 20mph limits are becoming a global standard for cities and villages
• Why 20mph makes such a difference and how a reduced speed limit can improve air quality
• Already 2 1 m people in the UK live in authorities setting a 20mph urban/village default
• How Cheshire East could set 20 mph limits for most roads

• Also updates from the Macctastic sub-groups and the chance to network and share ideas
Doors open at St Michael’s Church at 7:00pm, event starts at 7:30pm.
