During a meeting of the environment and liveable neighbourhoods committee on Tuesday to discuss the roll-out of 20mph speed limits, Green Councillor Jon Molyneux was the first to pay tribute to the student.He said: “I am pleased to see the paper progressing but I did want to make some comments about my constituent Emma Newman who members may be aware was a Glasgow School of Art student who was killed while cycling to her class on Friday.
“What this committee does is about protecting and saving lives and that is the motivation for making sure that when we implement policies like this that we are getting them right and making them as effective as they possibly can be.” He continued: “I think this 20mph zone works hand in hand with the low emission zone and it is important that we bring it forward.”Following the meeting, Angus Millar, City Convener for Climate and Transport said a widespread 20mph speed limit would bring Glasgow in line with many other UK cities and help promote sustainable transport.
