Contact: Geoff Barrell, 20 Limit Project Manager.
Report by Corporate Director Environment & Place (CMDHM 16).
Decision required on proposed 20mph speed limit.
Decision:
The Cabinet Member for Highway Management AGREED to approve the proposed introduction of 20mph speed limits as advertised.
Minutes:
The report presented responses to a statutory consultation on the proposed introduction of 20mph speed limits in Church Hanborough.
Cllr Liam Walker informed the meeting that they had undertaken an informal consultation with eight parishes across the division and confirmed that there was overall support of this scheme.
The Chair noted some of the objections, but felt they were comparable to those expressed and considered in earlier similar schemes and were not seen as warranting a change in the proposals. The Chair suggested that some traffic calming measures may be considered where there is risk of people not observing the 20mph signs. The aim of reducing speed limits was to change drivers’ mindsets to make speeding socially unacceptable and make more environmentally friendly modes of travel more attractive.
The Cabinet Member for Highway Management APPROVED the proposed introduction of 20mph speed limits as advertised.
