Report by Deputy Director for Environment & Economy - Commercial & Delivery (CMDE5).

The Cabinet Member for Environment considered a report that set out objections and other comments to a formal consultation on a proposed 40mph speed limit on B4100 immediately north of Bicester, replacing the 50mph limit currently in place, and proposing a one-way order in the layby on the west side of the B4100, approximately one mile north of Bicester.

The objections of Thames Valley Police and the comments received as a result of the consultation were noted, as was the wish of the local Member to be kept informed of progress. 

Having regard to the arguments and options set out in the documentation before him, and the further considerations set out above, the Cabinet Member for Environment confirmed his decision on this matter as follows:

(a)               the 40mph speed limit on the B4100 immediately north of Bicester, but that implementation be deferred until the eco-town development had been occupied;

(b)               the one-way order for the layby on the west side of the B4100 approximately one mile north of Bicester.
