Report by Deputy Director for Environment & Economy – Commercial & Delivery (CMDE6).

The Cabinet Member for Environment considered objections and other comments to a formal consultation on a proposed extension of the 30 mph on Faringdon Road/Spring Hill to replace the full length of the 40 mph limit currently in place.

Mr Tole confirmed that the view of the police was that the proposal could weaken the existing 30 limit.  However, evidence in other places had not borne out that view and officers felt that drivers in the main respected signing.

Having regard to the arguments and options set out in the documentation before him, the comments set out above and the support expressed by local councillors he confirmed his decision as follows:

To approve the extension to the 30mph speed limit as advertised.
