Abingdon Town Centre (Various Roads) 20mph Speed Limit

13/02/2010 - Abingdon Town Centre (Various Roads) 20 mph Speed Limit

The Committee considered (TDC7) the introduction of a 20 mph speed limit on various roads in Abingdon Town Centre.

 

Mr Warren reported receipt of further comments from Oxfordshire Fire & Rescue Service (no adverse comments); Vale of White Horse District Council (no objection on air quality and reiteration of policy against installing fixed equipment and decluttering).  Abingdon Town Council had called for the  County Council and Thames Valley Police to ensure effective enforcement of the new limit, particularly at times when there was less traffic ie evenings and weekends and that if the Police were unable to do that then the proposal should be reconsidered.

 

RESOLVED: to authorise implementation of the 20 mph speed limit as detailed in Annex 1 to the report TDC7.
