There meeting tomorrow evening (Thursday 25th February) at 7.30pm in the lecture theatre at the Storey Institute in Lancaster for anyone who is interest, to plan campaign for a general 20 mph speed limit throughout Lancaster district.

I should point out that the national 20’s Plenty campaign at local or national level is something that the Rough-Stuff Fellowship does not wish to get involved in, does not have position on the campaign and will leave up to individual members if they wish support or not to support the campaign.
