Decision:
Approved
Minutes:
The Cabinet Member for Environment considered (CMDE16) responses received to a statutory consultation to introduce a 50mph speed limit on the entire length of the A424 Burford to Stow road within Oxfordshire put forward following a review of the recent accident history, including several accidents resulting in fatal injury, and, if approved, to be funded by the Road Safety budget within the County Council’s Capital programme.
CountyCouncillor Nick Field-Johnson had expressed his full support for the 50mph speed limit as there has been several fatal accidents at the bottom of the hill by Burford.
Noting that there had been 3 objections based on need for it and whether the limit might be counter-productive if it resulted in driver frustration the Cabinet Member noted that the report indicated that the limit was considered to be consistent with DFT guidelines on setting local speed limits. Acknowledging the comments submitted by the local member with regard to the number of accidents and having regard to the information set out in the report she confirmed her decision as follows:
to approve the 50mph speed limit as advertised.
