20's Plenty for Dunbar

January 2012

Sustaining Dunbar met with East Lothian Council to discuss the possibility of a 20’s Plenty Scheme in Dunbar. ELC were broadly supportive, and suggested that a 20 mph speed limit trial be introduced on all residential roads to the south of the East Coast Mainline, and west of Spott Road. Sustaining Dunbar agreed to carry out a consultation survey of residents in the relevant areas in the spring, with the possible introduction of the trial in the autumn.

December 2011
We held a public meeting to form a Dunbar Living Streets group to campaign for better facitities for pedestrains. A central plank of the campaign will be 20mph limits on residental streets. The meeting was attended by 10 local campaigners, all 3 local councillors (Paul McLennan, Jacquie Bell and Norman Hampshire), Cllr Margaret Libberton from the Preston/Seton/Gosfod ward and visitors from Port Seton who are launching a 20's Plenty Campaign in their ward.

20's Plenty for Dunbar began life as a Facebook group in March 2010. By the end of the year 40 local people had signed up to indicate their interest, and it was decided to form a formal campaing group to lobby for change.
