Report by Corporate Director for Environment and Place (CMDTMT17).

The Cabinet Member for Transport Management is RECOMMENDED to:

a)    Approve the introduction of 20mph speed limits at Bix village, Lower Assendon and Middle Assendon, as advertised.

The Chair introduced the item to the meeting.

The Chair noted responses in the consultation surrounding large cyclist groups, who sometimes cycled above the 20mph speed limits. Officers stated that road users are all bound by the speed limits.

The Chair reflected that approval was needed by the police for cycling events, such as time trials. The Chair noted these issues had overall benefits, but acknowledged the difficulties.

The Chair encouraged dialogue to take place with Parish Councils in these instances.

The Chair thanked officers for their work, and for the considered responses of the respondents to the consultation. The Chair agreed to the recommendation in the report.

RESOLVED to:

a)    Approve the introduction of 20mph speed limits at Bix Village, Lower Assendon and Middle Assendon, as advertised.
