Tories Apply Green Reverse Gear to Climate Change

All four of your Lib Dem councillors have been very supportive of the resident-led call for much of Poundbury to become a 20 mph zone.

Councillor Biggs, who gave his formal support for the scheme to Dorset Council said, “I’m shocked and astounded that the Government should seek to make it even harder to introduce measures to make our streets safer. Don’t they realise that motorists don’t want their friends and relatives knocked down by speeding motorists either?”

The current proposed zone is subject to analysis of traffic speeds (starting in the autumn school term) in Peverell Avenue, near to Damers School, before Dorset Council decides to act one way or another.

Councillor Biggs hopes that local elections next year will pave the way for a Lib Dem-run council to stream line current policy and make it far easier to get 20mph zones. A change of Government would clearly help too!
