Our vision is to make our streets safe and pleasant for all children and adults however they travel or wherever they live. To help residents, like many other areas across the country, we are introducing 20mph speed limits in residential areas across Calderdale.
The benefits of 20mph
There are a huge range of benefits to 20mph. Some of them you can guess but there are so many others too. Here are the website and social media links for our 20mph campaign:
You can also download our interactive app called Love our streets.
Timescale for 20mph speed limits
20mph speed limits will be introduced over 4 years from 2015 to 2018, starting with the central areas of Siddal and Southowram in June 2015 and Savile Park, Manor Heath, Coronation, Skircoat Green and extended Halifax town centre in July 2015.
The consultation process
Changes in speed limits are subject to statutory consultation as part of the Speed Limit Order (SLO) legal process. You can formally comment on the 20mph proposals in your area by submitting this in writing before the consultation end date. Email or write to us at:
