Report by Director for Infrastructure Delivery (CMDE4).

The report presents responses received in the course of a statutory consultation on a proposal to introduce a 50mph speed limit on the A423 Oxford Southern Bypass, and 30mph speed limits on roads linking the bypass to Kennington and Oxford.

The Cabinet Member for the Environment is RECOMMENDED to approve the proposal for a 50mph speed limit on the A423 Oxford Southern bypass as advertised, but with a further consultation being carried out on revised proposals for the linking roads as set out in paragraph 10 of this report.

Approved

The Cabinet Member for Environment considered responses received to a statutory consultation to introduce a 50 mph speed limit on the A423 Oxford Southern Bypass and 30 mph limits on roads linking the bypass to Kennington and Oxford.

The Cabinet Member for Environment recognised that although the police had not objected to the proposals for the A423 itself they had done so with regard to the linking roads. Therefore, having regard to the arguments and options in the report which reflected their concerns by recommending further consultation on appropriate limits for the linking roads, she confirmed her decision as follows:

to approve the proposal for a 50 mph speed limit on the A423 Oxford Southern Bypass as advertised but that further consultation be carried out on revised proposals for the linking roads as set out in paragraph 10 of the report CMDE4.
