Report by Corporate Director Environment & Place (CMDHM    ).

Decision required on proposed 20mph speed limit.

The Cabinet Member for Highway Management APPROVED the proposed introduction of the 20mph, 30mph, and 50mph speed limits.

Advisory Note: The Cabinet Member for Highway Management asked officers to Support the progression of the development of the quiet lane, enabling the delivery of it by including the lane between Bayswater and B4027 within the 20mph programme as a future scheme within tranche 3.

The report presented responses to a statutory consultation on the proposed introduction of 20mph, 30mph, and 50mph speed limits in Stanton St John.

Before considering the comments and the officers’ responses, the Chair agreed to a request to speak from the Local Member.

Councillor Tim Bearder opposed the proposed 50 mph section and would prefer that stretch be limited to 20mph.  However, he accepted that would require further consultation and he did not wish to hold up introduction of the wider scheme.

Councillor Bearder also asked if the Shepherd’s Pit Lane could be considered in the longer term as it was envisaged as a possible ‘quiet way’ to link with new developments around the Bayswater Road.  Officers responded that it could form part of Tranche 3 and they would be happy to discuss that with Councillor Bearder.

The Cabinet Member for Highway Management APPROVED the proposed introduction of the 20mph, 30mph, and 50mph speed limits.
