20mph zone - Council consultation

Camden is consulting on a proposal to introduce 20 mph speed limit in all those areas of the borough which are not currently so limited.

For Fortune Green this means all of Fortune Green Ward from Finchley Road to Westbere Road. (not including Finchley Road which is a Red Route and managed by Transport for London.) (Note that West of Westbere Road has already been declared a 20mph zone)
The Council says:
"The proposal is to help reduce road casualties and create more pleasant neighbourhoods for everyone.  Many roads in Camden are already 20 mph and a borough-wide 20 mph speed limit would use signage and road markings only. Speed humps or cushions would not be installed as part of this scheme.
It is expected that a 20 mph speed limit will reduce the number of people killed and injured on Camden’s roads and by making our roads safer and more pleasant to use this will encourage more walking and cycling.

They are asking people to fill in a survey on line by 25th March which you can find by clicking on the link below.
