To seek approval for the introduction of traffic calming measures on the B4027 Wheatley Road, Islip

Proposals are being brought forward for speed cushions on the B4027 Wheatley Road, Islip in order to reduce traffic speeds and reinforce the 20mph speed limit on the approach to the new traffic signals that are being installed on Islip Bridge

The Chair invited speakers to address the meeting and responded to their points in turn.

Officers stated that they reflected on a number of considerations on the optimum measures to introduce, noting that in the previous scheme, speed humps had been introduced but were not in compliance with regulations.

Following a question from the Chair, officers confirmed that vegetation works were planned as part of the scheme.

The Chair thanked officers and approved the recommendations in the report.
