The Cabinet Member for Environment considered (CMDE7) a report presenting objections and comments received in the course of a statutory consultation on a proposal funded by the Brightwell-cum-Sotwell parish council to replace the existing 30mph speed limit throughout the village south of High Road with a 20mph speed limit.

He also noted the comments in support received from the local member Councillor Lynda Atkins which had been tabled in the addenda sheet.

Mr Tole outlined the proposal and although Thames Valley police and one resident had objected there was a lot of local support for what was considered a good local initiative to promote driving in an appropriate manner.

Accepting that the proposal reflected local conditions and acknowledging the support from the local member and that the scheme was being funded by the parish council the Cabinet Member having regard to the information set out in the report and the representations made to him confirmed his decision as follows:

to approveimplementation of the proposal as advertised.
