Could you help Norwich make history, this year?

Norwich Green Party: Help needed on polling day.
 
Last year, Norwich Green Party missed gaining an extra seat -- which would have made us the official opposition on the Council -- by one single vote...
 
We do not intend to repeat the same mistake, this year...
 
We need help throughout the campaign. But: If you can only choose one day upon which to help us, then please choose Polling Day. Apart from many other jobs we are aiming to staff lots and lots of polling stations with 'tellers' (smiling people with Green rosettes sitting outside polling stations) between 7am and 10pm. (15 hours). That makes about 600 person-hours just for that one vital job - a job which anybody (with a smile) can do!
 
If you or someone you know -- forward this message to them? -- could give us just a few hours, or even better, the whole day on May 1st, we will get nearer our target. It is a fact that with just a few extra person-hours last year we would have gained that extra vote!  Just ONE vote!
 
HOW TO CONTACT US:
 
  Get back to me, if you'd like to, on this.
Or, better still:
To give offers of help and/or donations please go to
help@norwichgreenparty.org
or call Tom Dylan at Green Party base on 01603 611909
 
THANK YOU!
 
     Rupert.

More on why 20's plenty -- without need for any further 'trials'...

There are a number of reasons for setting a default speed of 20mph throughout the 'unclassified' road network in residential parts of a city such as Norwich. Most important perhaps is that of driver recognition as to what the speed limit is. If you have 20 mph as the default then you not only establish this limit clearly, but you also adjust the driver's recognition as to what is the "normal" speed in such residential areas. The most important aspect is that drivers set 20 mph as the norm with those 30 mph areas or roads being seen as 50% faster, rather than seeing 30 mph as the norm with 20 mph as 33% slower. The psychological adjustment of normal speeds in residential areas is key to the success of reducing speeds and therefore danger to pedestrians and cyclists. Therefore any trial, pilot or whatever, that only implements 20 mph in a tiny proportion of the city is not modelling 20's Plenty in any realistic manner.   When considering the val...
