CAMPAIGNERS who want to see a 20mph zone in Haslemere gathered in the town on Sunday afternoon ahead of a key meeting.

Alastair Bayliss – who has lived in Haslemere for eight years and is a volunteer for the 20’s Plenty for Surrey group – is hoping Surrey County Council will update its policy on 20mph zones, so towns in the county, such as Haslemere, have the option to implement lower speed limits.

Surrey’s Liberal Democrats group has tabled a motion to update the policy, which is set to be discussed at a county meeting at 10am next Tuesday (January 18).

And Mr Bayliss wants residents to contact their councillors with their views before the motion is discussed.

Mr Bayliss said: “If councillors have letters of support for the motion from residents it will give them the evidence they need to support this.”
