Dear Friends, Neighbours and Supporters

We're committed to keeping you informed about the potential benefits of implementing and maintaining 20mph and 30mph speed limits on our roads. A comprehensive review of evidence from the Welsh Government sheds light on the crucial impact these measures can have on road safety, active travel, and air pollution.

Key Takeaways:

• Reduced Accidents & Severity: Lowering speed limits to 20mph has been shown to decrease the number and severity of road traffic accidents.  This change can significantly reduce the risk of fatal outcomes for pedestrians and cyclists
  Encouraging Active Travel: Safer roads encourage more people to consider walking or cycling, promoting healthier lifestyles and a more vibrant community
• Air Quality Improvement: While the impact on air pollution is complex, safer roads mean fewer accidents and less congestion, contributing to better air quality over time

However, it's crucial to remember that the effectiveness of these speed limits is closely linked to proper enforcement and maintenance. We must ensure that these limits are more than just signs on the road — they need to be enforced by KCC!

Let's continue to push for the implementation and maintenance of appropriate speed limits on Frant Road and its surrounding areas. Together, we can make our streets safer for everyone.

Stay safe and stay involved!
