Sian Berry, To Campaign in Norwich North, July 21st


Sian Berry, the former Green Party London mayoral candidate, will join Rupert to campaign in Norwich North on July 21st.

Sian says:

"I am really looking forward to taking to the streets of Norwich again in support of Rupert Read in the Norwich North by-election next week.

I have always known Rupert to be a tireless campaigner and someone with a unique perspective on bringing fair play back into politics.

As a councillor in Norwich, he has worked hard on local issues, from housing to fair pay, and has made a real difference to people's lives. And, as a philosopher, he is just as comfortable tackling the big issues, from the best way to deal with climate change to the need for peaceful ways to resolve conflicts.

Rupert has already represented the people of Norwich at City Hall for 5 years, and I urge the people of Norwich North to vote for him as a hardworking and principled representative for them in Westminster on 23 July."

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...
