St Mary Deputy Daniel Wimberley wants to introduce 20 mph zones in all built-up areas – including St Helier, Five Oaks and areas of St Clement.

He announced yesterday that he intends to lodge a proposition with the States soon. Deputy Wimberley also wants residents in village centres to be given the option of a 20 mph zone.

He said: ‘This measure is aimed at road safety and an improved quality of life for Islanders. 20 mph zones are known to reduce serious injuries and fatalities caused by traffic accidents.’
