Report by Corporate Director Environment & Place (CMDHM 17).

 

A decision is required on a proposed 20mph speed limit.

 

Decision:

The Cabinet Member for Highway Management AGREED to approve as advertised the following proposals:

 

a)    20mph speed limit in Kidlington, and Gosford & Water Eaton; and

b)    30mph speed limits on the A4260 Banbury Road & Oxford Road.

Minutes:

The report presented responses to a statutory consultation on the proposed introduction of 20mph and 30 mph speed limits in Kidlington and Gosford & Water Eaton.

 

Cyclox supported the proposals but wanted to see a 20mph limit placed along the A4260 Oxford and Banbury roads. Four out of five online responses expressed support. The objector routinely objected to 20mph limits and raised no pertinent points and challenged the philosophy being the democratically agreed policy to promote 20mph speed limits in communities.

 

The Cabinet Member for Highway Management APPROVED as advertised the following proposals:

a)    20mph speed limit in Kidlington, and Gosford & Water Eaton,

b)    30mph speed limits on the A4260 Banbury Road & Oxford Road.
