20 is Plenty
20’s Plenty campaigns for a speed limit of 20mph to be normal in residential areas and in town and village centres, with exceptions where appropriate. As an apolitical body, we work with anyone wanting 20mph. We receive no government or political party funding.
- 28 million people in the UK live in places where 20mph is normal
- On 17th September 2023, Wales implemented a 20mph national default for residential roads.
- The UN General Assembly endorses 20mph speed limits where people and motor vehicles mix.
Bespoke
Bespoke is a free, non-political group, passionate about cycling. We want to make it easier and safer for everyone to get around Eastbourne by bicycle. Eastbourne is a gateway to the South Downs National Park, with miles of mountain-bike trails, but conditions for cycling in the town centre, along the seafront and around schools could (and should) be better.
If cycling could be as safe and easy as in many European towns, then more people would see the benefits of cycling. There would be less pollution and more parking spaces for those who need to use a car. Bespoke campaigns for a network of safe continuous well-signposted cycle routes.
Bespoke supports cycling for everybody who might want to use a bicycle to get to work, school, university, shops, the pub, or just out and about.
