The
Committee considered (TDC7) the introduction of a 20 mph speed limit on various
roads in Abingdon Town Centre.
Mr
Warren reported receipt of further comments from Oxfordshire Fire & Rescue
Service (no adverse comments); Vale of White Horse District Council (no
objection on air quality and reiteration of policy against installing fixed
equipment and decluttering). Abingdon Town Council had called for the County Council and Thames Valley Police to
ensure effective enforcement of the new limit, particularly at times when there
was less traffic ie evenings and weekends and that if
the Police were unable to do that then the proposal should be reconsidered.
RESOLVED: to authorise implementation of the 20 mph speed
limit as detailed in Annex 1 to the report TDC7.
