This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Rejected petition Soho 20mph Slow Zone
More details
Creating a 20 mile an hour slow zone in the whole of the soho area from Shaftesbury Avenue in the south to Mortimer/Goodge Street in the north, Charing Cross/Tottenham Court Road in the east to Regent Street in the west. Also inclusive of these roads and the areas where they intersect.
This is an extremely built up area in terms of pedestrians- from tourists to the local workforce, not to mention the vibrant nightlife. At the moment the traffic races through this area at dangerous speed. There have been many incidents and some of them fatal. Enforcing a 20 mile an hour zone should hopefully prevent any further fatalaties and protect the local community and those visiting London.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
A decision on establishing a 20 mph zone in Soho is a matter for Transport for London, the City of Westminster and the London Borough of Camden.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
