Report by Director for Infrastructure Operations (CMDE9).

The report presents responses received to a statutory consultation on a proposal to reduce the speed limit on the village road at Exlade Street to 30mph (from the national speed limit of 60mph) and introduce a 20mph speed limit (in place of the current 30mph limit) on the Main Street at Checkendon in the vicinity of the school, village hall and other village amenities together with residential properties.  The proposals have been put forward by Checkendon Parish Council due to concerns over the danger posed by traffic at these locations and, if approved, would be funded by them.

The Cabinet Member for the Environment is RECOMMENDED to approve the proposed introduction of a 30mph speed limit at Exlade Street as advertised but defer approval of the proposed 20mph on the Main Street at Checkendon pending consideration of the provision of traffic calming measures to support compliance with the limit.
