There will be a consultations meetings in January about the idea of introducing a 20 mph speed limit on roads in Sherwood. It is hoped that the speed limit would create a more cycle & pedestrian friendly environment, improve air quality, reduce traffic noise, make the roads safer for children, streets will become more pleasant places to be and the potential reduction in the number and severity of accidents. The speed limit would need good support from the community to succeed. Meetings will be at the Sherwood Community Centre on 19th January 5.00pm to 8.00pm, and the Indian Community Centre, Hucknall Road on the 25th January between 6.00pm till 8.00pm.
