Report by Interim Director for Community Operations (CMDE10).

The report presents responses received to a statutory consultation to introduce a 50mph speed limit on the A415 between Abingdon and Marcham put forward at the of County Councillor Richard Webber and, if approved, to be funded by the Councillor Priority Fund.

The Cabinet Member for Environment is RECOMMENDED to approve the 50mph speed limit on the A415 between Abingdon and Marcham as advertised.

Approved

The Cabinet Member for Environment considered (CMDE10) responses received to a statutory consultation to introduce a 50mph speed limit on the A415 between Abingdon and Marcham put forward and funded through his Councillor Priority Fund by the local member County Councillor Richard Webber.

Councillor Webber thanked officers for progressing the scheme and while recognising calls for a lower limit he considered the current proposal to be the correct way forward and commended it for approval.

Mr Turner confirmed that speed surveys had shown an average of 48mph and for a 40 limit to be introduced those speeds would need to be 45/46. That indicated a 50mph restriction would be respected and therefore the best way forward

Recognising the support of the local member and having regard to the information set out in the report before her and the representations made to her at the meeting the Cabinet Member for Environment confirmed her decision as follows:

to approve the 50mph speed limit on the A415 between Abingdon and Marcham as advertised.
