Reason for 20mph limit

REFERENCE my motion relating to 20mph speed limits in Worthing (front page WSG) I would like to explain to readers the reasoning behind this proposal.

In the briefing note to councillors it is made clear that WSCC cannot (or at least doesn’t have the political will to) use any of the £2.6m for anything other than ‘additional road maintenance’, as specified by the Department for Transport.

So much for localism and the end of top down Government? Especially given the Worthing 20’s Plenty campaign has cross-party support from the locally elected Borough Council.
