Decision details

Part of Phase 3 of Countywide 20mph Speed Limit Project.

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

Officers explained that the proposal corrected an omission from earlier implementation phases, resulting in a short section of road remaining subject to the national speed limit despite its character and use.

The Chair noted that the proposed extension would provide consistency, improve safety for all users and be compliant with the County Council’s 20mph speed limits policy.

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

RESOLVED to:

a)    Approve the extension of the existing 20mph speed limit on Old Road in Forest Hill, as advertised.
