Decision:

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.
