Decision details

To determine speed limits after consideration of any formal consultation responses

The Chair introduced the item to the meeting.

The Chair noted support from the Parish Council, except for objecting to the repeater speed limit signs. Officers noted in the report that repeater signs were needed to be effective as it was a ‘signs and lines’ initiative.

The Chair stated that visual signs were important, particularly in historic villages. Officers also pointed out that the guidelines were for signs to be every 250 metres, but that this was not proscribed in law.

The Chair stated that he was proud of the administration’s policies in this area as they provided meaningful change and benefit to the residents of Oxfordshire.

The Chair thanked officers and agreed to the recommendations.

RESOLVED to:

a) Approve the introduction of 20mph speed limits in Steeple Aston as advertised.
