Minutes:
The report presents responses to a statutory consultation on
the proposed introduction of 20mph speed limits in Nettlebed. The proposals would help encourage walking
and cycling within Nettlebed by making them safer and more attractive.
Cllr Gant welcomed the recommendation by saying that the aim of reducing speed limits was to change driver’s mindsets to make speeding socially unacceptable and make more environmentally friendly modes of travel such as walking and cycling more attractive, and also reduce the Counties carbon footprint.
