Minutes:
The report presented responses to a statutory consultation on the proposed introduction of 20mph speed limits in Sydenham.
The Chair noted that the Parish Council was in full support of the proposals. One concern and one objection were received, namely the enforceability of the proposals and undue sign clutter, respectively. Officers confirmed that signage would be replaced like for like.
The Chair felt that the scheme would improve road safety and encourage greater use of active travel by reducing speeds.
