MADAM – May I raise an objection to the 20mph speed limit in Stroud.

An experienced driver, in my case 52 years, can probably drive within the 30mph speed limit without reference to the speedometer.

This is not true when the limit is 20mph.

I know from my experience in Stonehouse and Gloucester that I have to take my eyes off the road frequently to check my speed.

Also, at 20mph, you stand a good chance of being tail-gated by somebody who has not seen the limit sign, or has no wish to drive so slowly.
