YOUR otherwise excellent article on the 20’s Plenty campaign, which appeared on Saturday, October 15, failed to make it clear that Darlington Borough Council is taking a real interest in this initiative.

Place Scrutiny Committee, which has responsibility for transport among other things, has set up a group to explore the idea further in the context of road safety and speed management as a whole.

Members of the group have already heard from 20’s Plenty, and will shortly hear from the police and bus companies, so that we can build up a picture of what is right for Darlington. We hope also to visit neighbouring authorities who have put 20’s Plenty style measures in place.

In other words, we are trying.

Councillor Dorothy Long, Darlington.
