#EnglandTourismWeek25 & Greenwich has so many attractions very close to Cutty Sark DLR! There’s much to offer the millions of people who visit every year but they have to face climbing 121 steps or wait for a small slow lift. It’s now March & STILL no timetable! Our petition

Current and planned 20mph zones | 20mph zones in Greenwich | Royal Borough of Greenwich Information on current and planned 20mph zones in Greenwich.

Why another two years until all residential streets in Greenwich borough become safer 20 mph zones? Even the busy Blackheath Standard gyratory is still 30 mph! www.royalgreenwich.gov.uk/info/200264/...
