Those of us who’d like to see slower traffic so as to Unchain the Brighton Pedestrian and Cyclist are looking forward to the extension of 20mph speed limits. But for a select group of Hove citizens, 20mph is 10 mph too much. The glitterati who live on Hove’s Western Esplanade have put up a sign designating a speed limit of 10mph. Presumably, as it’s a private road, they can choose any speed limit they like – unlike everyone else. If 10mph is enough for Norman Cook aka Fatboy Slim, Zoe Ball, David Walliams, Laura Stone, and Adele, surely 20’s Plenty for the rest of us?
