Green Party Councillor Katie Dawson won an amendment to the 2009 council budget to bring in 20mph limits on all residential roads in Islington. This is a great start! But we think people living, shopping, or walking to school on busier roads such as Blackstock Road should also benefit from reduced traffic speeds and a calmer, safer street environment.

Most accidents happen on major roads and the majority of Islington residents (58%) don’t have access to a car. So it seems only fair to start designing our streets with the wellbeing of all the local community in mind.

Islington Green Party will be putting a motion on this to the council. If you want to back our campaign please sign our petition below.
