The report presented responses to a statutory consultation on the proposed introduction of 20mph speed limits in Tackley.

Richard Holland-Oakes, Tackley Parish Council addressed the meeting and supported the proposal but felt that the 20mph speed limit should be extended to include Church Hill on the south-western approach to the village.

Councillor Andy Graham addressed the meeting and supported the view of the Parish Council.

Officers commented that Church Hill did not have a bad accident record and reiterated the comments in paragraph 11 of the report; the area was predominantly rural and a 20mph limit on Church Hill would dilute the effect within the village and remove the potential of a strong gateway feature at the entrance to the main village.

The Chair asked that officers continue an active discussion on the speed limit on Church Hill and requested to see in writing the response from the bus companies.
