Contact: Geoff Barrell, Developer Schemes Coordinator and 20 Limits Project Manager.
Report by Corporate Director Environment & Place (CMDHM 18).
To consider proposed 20mph speed limits.
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 West Hanney.
The Chair invited
Cllr Povolotsky to address the meeting.
Five online
responses were received from members of the public with three in support, and
two raising objections. Both objections centred around the principle of the
20mph initiative with claims it was ineffective and undemocratic.
The Chair reminded
the meeting that these schemes formed part of a countywide programme of works
that sought to improve road safety and encourage use of active travel. The
objections received challenged the philosophy being the democratically agreed
policy to promote 20mph speed limits in communities.
The Cabinet Member
for Highway Management APPROVED the proposed introduction of 20mph speed
limits as advertised.
