Report by Director for Community Operations (Interim) (CMDE10).
The report presents responses received
to a statutory consultation on a proposal to extend the 30mph speed limit and
introduce a toucan crossing on the A44 Oxford Road at Woodstock adjacent to a
new residential development at the south end of the town and put forward because of the development of
that land for housing.
The
Cabinet Member for the Environment is RECOMMENDED to approve the proposed
extension of the 30mph speed limit and the installation of a toucan crossing (a
signalled crossing for pedestrians and pedal cyclists) on the A44 Oxford Road,
Woodstock as advertised.
Decision:
Approved
Minutes:
The Cabinet Member for
Environment considered (CMDE10) responses received to a statutory consultation
to extend the 30mph speed limit and introduce a toucan crossing on the A44
Oxford Road at Woodstock adjacent to a new residential development at the south
end of the town put forward because of
the development of that land for housing.
Addressing the 2 objections Mr Kirkwood advised that in response to Thames
Valley Police the extension was a modest one of approximately 150 metres but
had been considered proportionate taking into account
the inevitable changes to the road environment which would arise as a result of
adjacent residential development. The second from Begbroke
Parish Council had primarily been on the grounds that they considered provision
of a crossing in Begbroke to be a higher priority but
also raising safety issues at the A44 Begbroke
roundabout and traffic delays resulting from the proposed crossing.
Acknowledging advice from the officer and recognising that there had been
thirteen responses received in support of the proposal the Cabinet Member for
Environment, having regard to the information set out in the report before her
together with the representations made to her at the meeting confirmed her
decision as follows:
to approve the
proposed extension of the 30mph speed limit and the installation of a toucan
crossing (a signalled crossing for pedestrians and pedal cyclists) on the A44
Oxford Road, Woodstock as advertised.
