Thank you for the stats as well as the wider explanation. I share the feelings of some (and I think nearly all) that improving the quality of life in a community is 'a good thing'. For me this includes 20mph limits. I believe the argument is being lost in some quarters because of a number of clearly inappropriate impositions of the limiting poor explanations. Councils are not known for their finessing of solutions to issues.
The tag public line gives a simple gathering point (20 is plenty) but hides the aim of quality in living and (I suspect) gathers to it the anti-car lobby which undoubtedly exists. How can you do a better job of public explanation and give a more positive image to driving? Or isn't that possible in your (your group not you personally) view?
We are not a group in the sense of 'having a view' or 'a policy'. It's a forum of those with an interest in driving and is in opinions (and we have a few!) as varied as its members.
Kind regards
