20s Plenty for Dunbar

Lowering speed limits from 30mph to 20 mph decreases pedestrian accidents, reduces emissions, and makes for quieter, pleasanter neighbourhoods. Crucially for Dunbar, fast cars makes the roads feel unsafe for young cyclists, encouraging them to ride on the pavements. 20s Plenty for Dunbar wants to create a town where all cyclists will feel safe on the roads.

You can add your voice to the campaign for lower speeds by joining the Facebook group 20s Plenty for Dunbar. (For more information and statistics see www.20splentyforus.org.uk )

Walk to Work Week 26-30 April

Walk to Work LogoNext week is Walk to Work Week, and thousands of people have already pledged to make a bit more effort and enjoy the experience of getting to from place to place. You don’t need to walk the whole distance – perhaps you could park the car a bit down the road and walk the rest? 15 minutes of exercise without even thinking about it – what’s not to like?

Make your pledge to walk an extra 15 minutes here.
