20mph campaign

Campaign to introduce 20mph areas across the Isle of Wight

Cllr Jones-Evans is spearheading a campaign to introduce 20mph areas across the Isle of Wight.

A conference on the subject was held at the Riverside Centre recently and on Wednesday evening, the councillor for Newport Central will be taking a motion to the full council meeting.

Her motion reads,

20mph areas are proven to contribute to reducing road traffic accidents, increased active travel and other public health benefits.

This Council therefore asks the Executive to consider introducing a policy for a 20mph speed limit in areas across the Island in residential streets, town and village centres and where people work and learn.

Live coverage
OnTheWight will be reporting live from the meeting on Wednesday (19th October).

Tune in at the earlier time of 5pm to follow the discussion in the chamber.
