We can see both safety and environmental merit in Ramsgate following other Kent towns and introducing some 20mph speed limit roads. If you agree, or simply want to know more be aware that a ‘20’s Plenty’ meeting on the subject will take place on Thursday November 10, at the Comfort Inn, Victoria Parade, Ramsgate from 7pm – 8.30pm. NB This is a date change from the original notification we received from the organisers.

As we understand it from the press report, a traffic order has now been made changing 10 Ramsgate roads to 20mph zones.

The roads covered by the new speed limit:

ALBERT COURT, CHARLOTTE COURT, HARBOUR STREET and YORK STREET– For their entire length.

HARBOUR PARADE – From its junction with Military Road to its junction with Marine Esplanade.

HIGH STREET – From its junction with Harbour Street to its junction with Hardres Street.

KING STREET – From its junction with High Street to its junction with Broad Street.

MADERIA WALK – From its junction with Harbour Parade to its junction with Albion Place.

QUEEN STREET – From its junction with High Street to its junction with Leopold Street.

ROYAL PARADE – From its junction with Harbour Parade for a distance of 33 metres in a westerly direction.

Should more roads be added to this list? Would you like to see a 20mph limit throughout the town centre? If you want to make a case or simply to hear the debate do attend the meeting.

A petition is also running by Ramsgate resident Emma Lloyd asking for the 20mph limit to be made throughout the town centre.
