Yarnton: Amended Speed Limit Proposals

20/06/2024 - Yarnton: Amended Speed Limit Proposals

The Chair welcomed speakers to address the meeting and responded to their points in turn.

 

The Chair noted that he felt there were lots of reports that demonstrated the benefits of reducing speed limits.

 

The Chair referenced the consultation response from Thames Valley Police (TVP) and noted that it was an objection, rather than their generic response that speed limits should be self-enforcing.

 

Officers stated that the modification had been requested by Yarnton Parish Council.

 

The Chair referenced several responses in the consultations.

 

Officers stated that the road had characteristics that meant 20mph speed limits were suitable.

 

The Chair thanked speakers for their contributions and officers for their work, agreeing to the recommendations in the report.

 

RESOLVED to:

 

Approve the extension of the existing 20mph speed limit on Cassington Road in Yarnton as advertised.
