Report by Corporate Director Environment & Place (CMDHM 23).
A decision is required on a 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 South Leigh.
The Chair invited speakers to address the meeting and responded to the points made in their statements.
Cllr Dan Levy thanked officers for their work on the proposal and welcomed the 20mph zone. He felt it was vital to ensure the safety of residents and would enable them to walk, cycle, and drive safely. The Member stated that he would also welcome a review of the weight limits on those roads.
The Chair noted the objections received through the consultation, but they were not seen as warranting a change in the proposals given the clear intention of the County Council’s 20mph speed limit policy.
The Cabinet Member for Highway Management APPROVED the proposed introduction of 20mph speed limits as advertised.
