Campaign grows for 20mph speed limit on Shifnal streets
Drivers in a Shropshire market town are being urged to kill their speed as part of a new campaign.
Shifnal Town Council has joined the “20’s plenty where people live” scheme, calling for a reduction in speed near the town’s schools and residential areas.
Mayor of Shifnal, Robert Harrop, has been the driving force behind the scheme, which was launched yesterday at the Spring Fling in Wheatfield Park.
Members of the council were out in force collecting signatures for a new petition calling for the reduction of speed, which they said had already attracted a lot of interest
Next week marks a national day of campaigning for ‘20’s plenty’, which Shifnal will take part in on Friday and will head down to Shifnal Primary School to educate children on the importance of keeping speeds low around homes and schools.
