20mph for Safer Streets: Evidence, Delivery and Impact

The fifth in our Delivering 20 webinar series explores how reducing speed limits from 30mph to 20mph in built-up areas has the potential to play a transformative role in achieving the UK Government’s ambitious road safety targets - including a 65% reduction in casualties, rising to 70% for children and young people.
This webinar brings together leading voices from across the sector to explore how 20mph limits are already delivering measurable safety benefits in communities across the UK.
Hear directly from councillors and local authority officers who have successfully implemented 20mph schemes, sharing real-world insights into casualty reduction outcomes, public engagement, and delivery challenges.
We’ll also examine:

• The key barriers to wider 20mph adoption and how they can be overcome
• The role of the Government’s Road Safety Strategy in enabling a national approach
• Lessons from Wales, where a default 20mph limit was introduced in 2023 and casualty reductions are being sustained

• Darren Divall, Regional Road Safety Manager, Transport for West Midlands
• Cllr Andrew Gant, Cabinet Member for Transport Management, Oxfordshire County Council
• Phil Jones, Founder and Chair, Phil Jones Associates
• Sue Nicholls, Director, 20’s Plenty for Us
• Adam O’Neill, Programme Development & Delivery Lead, Cornwall Council
