Report by Director for Community Operations (Interim) (CMDE9).
The report sets out responses received
to a statutory consultation on a proposal to introduce a 30mph speed limit on
Hen and Chick Lane and the unnamed road to the B4477 at Shilton. It should be
noted that a previous consultation on a proposed 40mph speed limit on these
roads was carried out in May 2019 but the responses to this indicated that a
30mph was favoured by the local community. The proposals have been put forward at the request of County Councillor Field-Johnson and County
Councillor Handley and, if
approved, would be funded from their respective Councillor Priority Fund.
Decision:
Approved subject to funding.
Minutes:
The Cabinet
Member for Environment considered (CMDE8) responses received to a statutory
consultation on a proposal to introduce a 30mph speed limit on Hen and Chick
Lane and the unnamed road to the B4477 at Shilton. A previous consultation on a
proposed 40mph speed limit on these roads had been carried out in May 2019 but
the responses to that had indicated that a 30mph was favoured by the local
community. The current proposal had
been put forward at the request of County Councillor Field-Johnson and County
Councillor Handley and, if
approved, would be funded from their respective Councillor Priority Fund.
Mr Kirkwood highlighted the objection from
Thames valley Police which had some basis.
This was a minor route and was a question of balance between the concerns
expressed and the support of the local community. He added that there were some issues
regarding funding which needed to be resolved.
Acknowledging those points and having regard
to the information set out in the report before her the Cabinet Member for
Environment confirmed her decision as follows:
to approve the 30mph speed limit on Hen and Chick Lane and the unnamed road to the B4477 at Shilton as advertised subject to satisfactory resolution of funding issues.
