Report by Corporate Director Environment & Place (CMDHM19).

 

To determine what speed limit changes should be made following consideration of public consultation responses.

 

The Cabinet Member for Transport Management is RECOMMENDED to approve the introduction of 20mph speed limits in Marsh Baldon and Toot Baldon as advertised.

 

Decision:

The Cabinet Member for Transport Management APPROVED the introduction of 20mph speed limits in Marsh Baldon and Toot Baldon as advertised.

Minutes:

The report presents responses to a statutory consultation on the proposed introduction of 20mph speed limits in Marsh Baldon and Toot Baldon.

 

The Chair invited the speaker to address the meeting in turn and responded to points raised.

 

The Chair noted that many responses to the consultation had asked for more roads to be included in the 20mph zone. Officers explained that the 20mph policy was to protect areas where people lived rather than being applied to roads in rural areas and if extended unduly the impact of reducing the speed limit would be limited. Officers would review speed limits in a few locations that were less built up and had people utilising the road through walking and cycling.
