Report by Corporate Director Environment & Place (CMDHM14).
The Cabinet Member for Highway Management is RECOMMENDED to approve the introduction of 20mph speed limits in Watchfield as advertised.
Decision:
The Cabinet Member for Highway Management APPROVED the introduction of 20mph speed limits in Watchfield as advertised.
Minutes:
The report presented responses to a statutory consultation on the proposed introduction of 20mph speed limits in Watchfield.
Officers informed the Chair that there were several objections to the lower speed limit on Majors Road. As a strategic route with no properties with frontage to the road, it was subsequently left as a 30mph speed limit road.
The Chair noted that this was another example of officers taking into consideration consultation responses and applying policy in a consistent way.
The Cabinet Member for Transport Management APPROVED the introduction of 20mph speed limits in Watchfield as advertised.
