Hi all,   Would anybody interested to help show people the benefits of 20 mph speed limits in Bristol? The 20's Plenty for Bristol steering group sent these 2 emails. The first one explains the project and the second updates on what has been done. Apparently they still don't have a champion in Windmill hill.   If you want some more information, have a look to http://www.20splent yforus.org. uk/ or email Steve Kinsell on sjkinsella@20splent yforbristol. org.uk   Best regards and see you soon, Philippe    ------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- Will you be a neighbourhood champion helping to promote 20mph throughout greater Bristol ? Research has shown that the vast majority of the public would like 20 mph on residential roads. Lower speeds are government policy, but local authorities are dragging their feet. People pressure will change this. Five towns in UK have now decided on a default 20mph limit. We want to add greater Bristol - which would be the biggest area so far to go for 20 mph. This will give valuable prestige to the two Councils of Bristol and South Gloucestershire - but they need your help to know that it will be popular and successful. You can be part of a grass roots campaign to show Bristol and South Gloucestershire that now is the time to act. 20's Plenty for Bristol is a new coordinating campaign group based on the national campaign 20's Plenty for Us - http://www.20splent yforus.org. uk/ We need 100 neighbourhood 20's Plenty champions throughout Bristol and urban South Gloucestershire. Do you have links with a neighbourhood or community group? Or would you like to create such a group? Would you like to help show people the benefits of 20 mph speed limits in your locality? If so, please contact us at champions@20splenty forbristol. org.uk giving your name and location. Or if not, please pass this to someone you think might be keen to take it on. This is the task for 20's Plenty neighbourhood champions: Get together your local team. Inform the public by leaflets and media. Gather evidence of public demand, eg by petitions, return post cards. Your publicity might be linked with other neighbourhood material, newsletter etc. This will be entirely up to you. Once sufficient neighbourhood champions have come forward, we will hold a champions' meeting to discuss together what you can do, tell you more about 20's Plenty and see what resources and help you need. We look forward to that meeting. To join in as a neighbourhood champion - please reply to champions@20splenty forbristol. org.uk with your name and locality. Please also tell us if you're interested in joining the steering group. From the 20's Plenty for Bristol steering group Steve Kinsella, Chris Hutt, Keith Hallett, Josh Hart, Martin McDonnell, Chris Gittins ==================== We've made great progress already.  34 neighbourhood 20mph champions have come forward, covering Montpelier, Fishponds, Knowle, Bedminster, Cotham, Easton, St George West, Ashley Down, Hartcliffe, Whitehall, Coombe Dingle, Redcliffe, Clifton, Greenbank Av, Sefton Park Road, St Werburghs, Westbury on Trym, and Hotwells/Cliftonwoo d.  Congratulations and very many thanks to these pioneers who will help create a 20mph Bristol.   To reach our target of 100 champions we need more people covering both these areas and the rest of Bristol and the South Glos urban fringe south of the M5 and M4.    The first MEETING will be on 4 March at 6:45pm in central Bristol - everyone who responds to the call for neighbourhood 20mph champions will be invited.   To join in  - please reply to champions@20splenty forbristol. org.uk with your name and locality. Since our email two weeks ago (below) some people have asked for more information about being a 20's Plenty champion and how we expect to influence the Council(s) to act. We've posted answers to these and other Frequently Asked Questions on our website www.20splentyforbri stol.org. uk. Do please phone or email me or other members of the steering group if you'd like to discuss, or learn more, or tell us your ideas. (This email is meant for people who are interested in promoting 20mph limits - if you think I've emailed you in error do please let me know and I'll take you off the list.) Thanks for all the messages of support. Steve Kinsella 20's Plenty for Bristol sjkinsella@20splent yforbristol. org.uk tel 01934 838624   .
