Public Participation at Meetings (Standing Order 12) (i) To receive a deputation by Mr R Dumelow on behalf of Bracknell and District Friends of the Earth in the following terms: "I am very concerned about vehicles driven at excessive speed in Bracknell. Speeding traffic reduces the free mobility of pedestrians and cyclists, increases noise and pollution and is a potential danger to all road users. I support the strict enforcement of speed limits on all of Bracknell's roads. I am also in favour of the widespread establishment of 20mph zones in residential areas and near schools. Please would you do everything you can to ensure that speed limits are reduced in areas where people live, and that all speed limits are strictly enforced."
