Minutes:
The report presented responses to a statutory consultation on the proposed introduction of 20mph speed limits in Thame.
The Chair invited the speakers to address the meeting in turn and responded to points raised.
Following concerns that certain roads needed a reduced speed limit, officers explained that some of the roads in question were more open radial roads into the town. Officers had tried to balance the needs of the bus companies with the need to progress the policy. There had also been objections.
Officers agreed to review speed limits on the roads, particularly those adjacent to the schools.
