Aphra Brandreth

Conservative — Chester South and Eddisbury

Speaking in the House of Commons on 22 April 2025

Debate

Road Safety and Active Travel to School

Contribution

The hon. Member is giving an interesting speech and making important points, but distances in some rural areas mean that walking, and often cycling, are not feasible. Does he agree that any review needs a particular focus on rural roads and should perhaps support reducing speeds outside schools? In constituencies such as mine, there is not yet a policy of having 20 mph. Perhaps he can give some examples of rural roads in the Netherlands.
