Good to see Cornwall Council confirming its' commitment to rolling out #20mph limits to communities across the county. https://t.co/NcXyN0DBGY

Glad to see 20 MPH to be introduced outside Shipley School. However, why must residents apply individually, when the arguments provided by the Cabinet Member for Highways could be applied outside every school?

“There are some fears beforehand about people taking longer to get to jobs or deliveries being slowed down. There are no big delays, there is no congestion. There is no increase of pollution. Everything becomes normal, & everything gets better.” - Rod King, @20splentyforus

“By 2025 you are going to look at the British Isles and you are going to say: Wales is 20mph, Scotland is 20mph, half of England is 20mph, all of Ireland is 20mph. This is a matter of time. It is inevitability.” #20isPlenty

Ministers should not be considering restrictions on our councils’ ability to impose 20mph speed limits, and rather should be enabling and funding councils to implement these safer and greener schemes.

All over the UK children find walking or cycling to school easier and safer because local authorities of all political colours setting 20mph limits on roads they use. Lives are being improved and lives are being saved. Its popular and cost-effective. https://t.co/eP3UTPKUut

3 things you will never achieve with 30mph limits in residential areas.
1. Vision Zero on road casualties
2. Net Zero on transport carbon
3. Solving the Type 2 Diabetes crisis

All require a change to safe active mobility and 20mph limits are a necessary foundation.

#20scoming It has already for 18m people in England where national 30mph is not deemed fit-for-purpose for 21st century community needs and 20mph is the norm. Wales is doing it the "smart" way by changing the national 30 to 20. It's the way to do it economically and sensibly

[20's Plenty for Us @20splentyforus]

Millions of people will gain from the national default 20mph limit for residential areas in Wales. Thanks to the drivers who will find it adds less than a minute to most journeys. Being a little bit slower will make a huge difference to so many. See https://t.co/gWsR1KSwpN

Children wanting to walk or cycle to their school, their shops and their friends and asking for community-wide 20mph limits aren't on the LEFT or on the RIGHT. They are at the BOTTOM of our considerations as a society if we maintain a default 30mph urban/village limit.

[20's Plenty for Us @20splentyforus]

In England 18 million people live in local authorities where a wide-area 20mph speed limit is set across the community for most roads. The number of places deciding to set their wide-area speed limit back to 30mph is ZERO. See this from National Travel Attitudes Survey.

20mph is a natural cross party issue: it has such a wide base of support amongst the public that it is a wonderful focus of unity for us all. Something we definitely need! @HughLumby @Nickking @robhumby

Cornwall Council sets out schedule for delivering default 20mph limit in all built-up areas. https://t.co/kjJAnujVMJ

[Ruth Fletcher 🔶 @mihe2000]

"Slower driving speeds, increased levels of walking and cycling and minimal impact on journey times are among the key findings of a new report carried out in areas of Wales trialling the new default 20mph speed limit."

Unwelcome news. #activetravel

[20s Plenty Horsham @20Horsham]

“28 million people in the UK (more than 1 in 3 of the population) now live in Local Authorities which accept 20mph as the right speed limit where people live, work or play.”
