No blanket 20mph
We already have 20mph around schools which is sensible. Implimenting a blanket 20mph would increase congestion, carbon output and driver frustration leading to the possibility of more not less accidents. I would question whether a blanket ban could or would be enforced. The police and Council don't have current resources to enforce the current 30 and 40 urban limits and increasing poor driving. Why are Moray and the Scottish Government proposing this when it has been a complete failure in Wales. At a time when local authority budgets are being cut to the detriment of essential services such as public toilets, lands and parks maintenance, cemetery maintenance, street cleaning, education, maintenance of projects such as flood alleviation, cycle paths etc, etc, how can Moray Council justify the cost of replacement signage, promotion etc, running into many thousands and will in all likelihood be contracted out taking funds out with the council. These budgets would be far more effectively used re-imlimenting public toilets, spraying weeds, planting annual flower beds etc. Especially when there will be little enforcement, carbon saving or reduction in accidents. I strongly object to these proposals.
