Report by Director for Infrastructure Operations (CMDE7).

The report presents responses received to a statutory consultation to reduce the speed limit to 30mph (from the national speed limit of 60mph) on the road known locally as ‘The Hale’ at Chesterton from the terminal point of the existing 30mph speed limit just south of its junction with the A4095 southwards by approximately 180 metres, to include the access to a new residential development on the east side of The Hale.

The Cabinet Member for the Environment is RECOMMENDED to approve the proposed introduction of a 30mph speed limit as advertised.

Approved

The Cabinet Member for Environment considered CMDE7 a report presenting responses received to a statutory consultation to reduce the speed limit to 30mph (from the national speed limit of 60mph) on the road known locally as ‘The Hale’ at Chesterton from the terminal point of the existing 30mph speed limit just south of its junction with the A4095 southwards by approximately 180 metres, to include the access to a new residential development on the east side of The Hale.

She noted the support of the local member for this proposal and his support for further discussion between County officers and Chesterton Parish Council regarding measures along the remaining length of The Hale although noting that any extension would move away from the residential area and therefore require additional funding as the scheme currently before her was developer funded.

Having regard to the information set out in the report before her and the further representations made to her the Cabinet Member for Environment confirmed her decision as follows:

to approve a proposed reduction of the current limit of 60 mph to 30 mph on the road known locally as ‘The Hale’ at Chesterton from the terminal point of the existing 30mph speed limit just south of its junction with the A4095 southwards by approximately 180 metres, to include the access to a new residential development on the east side of The Hale.
