Contact: Geoff Barrell, 20 Limit Project Manager.
Report by Corporate Director Environment & Place (CMDHM 16).
Decision required on proposed 20mph speed limit.
Decision:
The Cabinet Member for Highway Management AGREED to approve the proposed introduction of 20mph speed limits as advertised.
Minutes:
The report presented responses to a statutory consultation
on the proposed introduction of 20mph speed limits in Church Hanborough.
Cllr Liam Walker informed the meeting that they had
undertaken an informal consultation with eight parishes across the division and
confirmed that there was overall support of this scheme.Â
The Chair noted some of the objections, but felt they were
comparable to those expressed and considered in earlier similar schemes and
were not seen as warranting a change in the proposals. The Chair suggested that
some traffic calming measures may be considered where there is risk of people
not observing the 20mph signs. The aim of reducing speed limits was to change
drivers’ mindsets to make speeding socially unacceptable and make more
environmentally friendly modes of travel more attractive.
The Cabinet Member for Highway Management APPROVED
the proposed introduction of 20mph speed limits as advertised.
