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

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

Councillor Andrew Gant invited the speakers to address the meeting.

Officers responded to the point about the 40mph stretch between two 30mph zones, noting that this was because the area was in a neighbouring parish.  That will be taken account of when it comes to dealing with that parish.

Councillor Gant drew attention to a respondent’s point about sign clutter and asked officers to be mindful of that concern.

DECISION

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