Minutes:
The report presented the consultation responses to the proposed introduction of 20 mph speed limits in Milton (Banbury).
The Chair noted that there were concerns regarding the number of road signs. Officers explained that they would erect signs on existing posts wherever possible.
The Chair asked officers to comment on a response requesting a speed limit reduction to 30 mph on Milton Road, through Milton, with 40 mph limits at either end. Officers explained that they had considered a more extensive use of buffer limits, but they would add unnecessary clutter and expense. This part of the road was not considered dangerous so would remain at 40 mph.
