Decision details

The Chair introduced the item to the meeting, invited speakers to make their addresses and responded to their points in turn.

The Chair confirmed that the Council was working with Thames Valley Police, and the Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) to address the issue of speeding on the A420. The Director of Environment and Highways noted that the PCC had committed to introduce speed cameras on the A420. Officers confirmed that the PCC’s proposals would include this stretch of road.

It was noted by the Chair that this scheme was a welcome step, but that further improvements were also needed.

The Chair referenced several consultation responses.

Officers confirmed that the 20mph speed limits scheme was completed, but that reviews would be undertaken across the county to address specific concerns and to get feedback from parish and town councils.

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

RESOLVED to:

a)    Approve the 40mph speed limit on Oaksmere in Appleton, between its junction with the A420 & the new 20mph speed limit terminal, and,

b)    Approve the 50mph speed limit on the A420, between the existing 50mph limits at Tubney Wood & Parklands Manor (ex. Besselsleigh School), as advertised.
