Report by Corporate Director Environment & Place (CMDHM6)

This report presents responses to a statutory consultation on the proposed introduction of 20mph speed limits in Ambrosden.

The Cabinet Member for Highway Management is RECOMMENDED to approve the proposed introduction of 20mph speed limits as advertised.

The Cabinet Member for Highway Management APPROVED the proposed introduction of 20mph speed limits as advertised.

The Cabinet Member considered a report presenting responses to a statutory consultation on the proposed introduction of 20mph speed limits in Ambrosden.

Councillor Andrew Gant noted that items 6 to 16 were all about 20 mph limits.  His responses to some points made repeatedly in the consultations would be the same for each item.  He asked if officers had responded to the points made by the police and bus company.

Officers responded that they had communication directly with the police and bus companies and that paragraphs 11 and 12 in the report covered their points and gave as assurance that the situation would be monitored.

Councillor Gant stated that it would have been better to include the officers’ responses in the papers.  However, he had read them.  The Council policy was to implement 20 mph limits where communities ask for them.  That was the approach he wanted to follow, taking into account the monitoring and ability to change in the future if necessary.

DECISION

The Cabinet Member for Highway Management APPROVED the proposed introduction of 20mph speed limits as advertised.
