Decision details

Part of County-wide 20mph Speed Limit Project

The Chair introduced the item to the meeting.

The Chair noted that this was deferred initially as the local County Councillor asked for additional 20mph speed limit zones, and that officers had brought this back with a recommendation amending the 20mph zones, with the exception of the two outlined in recommendation a) and b).

The Chair noted the response at Annex 3 from the bus companies and objections relating to the overall policy.

The Chair felt this was a suitable compromise in assessing the needs of the bus companies and complying with County Council policy.

The Chair thanked officers and agreed to the recommendations in the report.

RESOLVED to:

Approve the introduction of the amended 20mph speed limits in Wallingford, as advertised excepting:

a)  Castle Street – terminal point to be 120 metres south of its junction with the access to Wallingford Cemetery

a)    Hithercroft Road – terminal point to be 35 metres west of its junction with Borough Avenue.
