Hi

 

I am sure that you all know that Portsmouth was the first city in UK to introduce 20 mph speed limits across all its residential roads. It has been  a beacon in bringing a better environment to all its residents with this ground-breaking initiative.

 

Well now a major conference is planned for September 29^th in Portsmouth which will focus on how the city has implemented its scheme and the ripples which it has created throughout the UK

 

Most importantly the conference will feature the results of the independent review and evaluation of the scheme by DfT and Atkins.

 

There will be presentations from Portsmouth Councillors and  Transport Officers, and also Hampshire Police.

 

Representatives from Oxford, London and Northern Ireland will also present on the way similar initiatives are being followed up there.

 

We believe that this will be a landmark conference for Road Danger Reduction in the UK.

 

Hence any transport officials or councillors will find this a very useful day, and a great opportunity for them to find out what has really happened in Portsmouth and how the same benefits may be applied in their own authority. 20’s Plenty for Us will also be there and are planning to network as much as possible.

 

I would therefore urge you all to forward the attachment in this email to your local councillors and officers to give them the opportunity to ensure that can maximise the opportunities for your city, town or village to follow Portsmouth.
