Depends on how fast. 30-39 it's likely to be a fine straight off and 3-5 points; over 40 3-month ban as it's double the limit

You would think thle best place to put a 20mph speed camera is on Barry Road in this area. They have just put speed bumps in to Landels, not sure of the point exactly though as very hard to do 20+ down it before anyway!


Is there any actual data on the impact 20mph limit has had v 30?

I don't understand the OP.


There's a clear speed limit. And clear penalties for speeding. And an obvious camera at that spot. Which is near a school, if memory serves.


Unlucky to be caught maybe, but twice?


I can't understand how a lawyer could help?

Yes - including a 75% reduction in fatality risk if someone is struck at 30mph compared to 20mph. https://www.rospa.com/rospaweb/docs/advice-services/road-safety/drivers/20-mph-zone-factsheet.pdf


The point of putting the speed camera outside the school is that it's where lots of kids will be crowding twice a day.

    • Hi, does anyone have their up to date number please?
    • I imagine Franco Manca's business dropped off quite a bit when Yard Sale opened (though isn't Yard Sale delivery only?) But in any case, both of those are chains.
    • Thanks. I'll call them shortly as I could get there without the car.  That's good of Sainsburys! We've done the apple pie and tart thing, an ongoing muesli thing and the coleslaw thing - just not sure what effect all the sugars are having on our digestive tracts.  If we were in Somerset and had a press, I'd consider it. Can't be that diffcult, can it?
    • One time Sainsbury's delivered 6 bags of apples instead of 6 single apples which I couldn't possibly get through. I phoned Pecan in Peckham to ask if they would accept them despite their website stating no fresh foods. I must have phoned at just the right time as they were happy to accept them. Sainsburys gave me a refund so the donation was courtesy of them. Or you could experiment with all kinds of apple recipes and write a blog about it
