I WAS pleased to read in The Bolton News, April 20, that Bolton Council plans to rollout, more 20mph zones, three years after voting in favour of these limits on Bolton residential roads.

And it is good to see Cllr Nick Peel say that road safety was a priority and rightly so, but I remember in April 2013 he was concerned about the cost of such a scheme.

Bolton Green Party has campaigned for more than six years when it didn't seem to be on other party's agendas. We called for 20mph zones across Bolton on our residential streets, and many hundreds in Rumworth ward signed a petition calling for 20mph zones in the area, so I am sure Rumworth residents will be pleased to see more being rolled out across the ward.
