, say Nick and Sally
Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Candidate, Sally Symington was in Tring during the General Election campaign to meet the local county councillor, Nick Hollinghurst.
As a local Dacorum Councillor herself – representing Berkhamsted West – Sally is keen to learn about new improvements within the Borough.
Here Cllr Hollinghurst explains about the objectives and difficulties behind the introduction of the new 20 mph zone in the west of Tring.
He said that this is a part of the town with a large number of young families, as well several blocks of flats for older people close to the High Street.
The intention is to produce a quieter, calmer and cleaner environment in which people feel more confident about walking, cycling and crossing the road.
Studies in places as diverse as Portsmouth, Glasgow and London have shown measurable improvements in social interaction, increased time spent outdoors and higher levels of exercise
Sally supports zones like these in helping to improve the quality of life for everyone, and to reduce the burden of pollution and disturbanceacross the whole community.
