Contact: Geoff Barrell, Developer Schemes Coordinator and 20 Limits Project Manager.
Report by Corporate Director Environment & Place (CMDHM 12).
To consider proposed 20mph speed limits.
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 Charlbury.
The Chair noted and addressed responses received to the consultation.
Whilst there was overwhelming support for the extension of the 20mph on the Woodstock Road, a number of respondents believed that the steep gradient on the Slade dip would create problems with a 20mph limit.
Officers acknowledged these as being reasonable concerns but felt that, on balance, the proposals as published offered the best solutions. They would monitor and review how the proposals worked in practice.
The Cabinet Member for Highway Management APPROVED the proposed introduction of 20mph speed limits as advertised.
