Report by Corporate Director Environment & Place (CMDHM16)

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

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 Sunningwell and Bayworth.

Councillor Andrew Gant invited the speaker to address the meeting.

Officers explained the reasoning for allowing a reduction from the national speed limit to 20mph in this case.  Where the road is straight, they believe that this approach is safe, whereas if there was a bend in the road, they would put in a reduction to 40 or 30mph first.

DECISION

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