Report by Corporate Director for Environment and Place (CMDTMT12).

The Cabinet Member for Transport Management is RECOMMENDED to:

a)    Approve the introduction of 20mph speed limits in Little Faringdon as advertised.

The Chair invited speakers to address the meeting and responded to their points in turn.

The Chair noted discussions between OCC, as a highways authority, and the Police and Crime Commissioner for the Thames Valley happen regularly and have included speed limit proposals. The Chair was appreciative of the engagement on speed limit enforcement by TVP and looked forward to continuing constructive discussions.

The Chair made the point that 20mph speed limits are introduced where local areas ask for it, stating that over 80% of towns and parishes in Oxfordshire have asked for speed limit reductions to 20mph.

The Chair thanked officers for their work and approved the recommendation.

RESOLVED to:

a) Approve the introduction of 20mph speed limits in Little Faringdon as advertised.
