“TWENTY’S PLENTY” - IS MUCH SAFER FOR CHILDREN

A total of 150 streets are to become 20mph zones – in full or in part – throughout North East Lincolnshire. This is a major initiative on behalf of the Council; it sends out a clear message – “Twenty’s Plenty”. It is a well known fact that speed kills and a child will stand a much greater chance of surviving, if this scheme is introduced.

The public consultation will end on March 4. In the meantime, staff and pupils at the schools involved have welcomed the move. It will benefit schools right across the Borough; however two schemes will assist local children attending Weelsby Street Primary and St Mary’s Primary Schools in East Marsh. A number of children from the ward also attend Queen Mar Avenue Infant, William Barcroft and Elliston Street Primary Schools in Cleethorpes – therefore all of these schemes are particularly welcome.

Throughout the Borough there are many other schools that will benefit from the “Twenty’s Plenty” initiative, and it is hoped that motorists will stick rigorously to the speed limits and take extra care.
