Having considered an officer report and a presentation by Councillor Brenda
Dacres, the non voting jobshare Cabinet Member for Parks, Neighbourhood &
Transport, the Mayor and Cabinet agreed that:
(1) the approach set out for prioritising roads for speed reduction measures to
reduce speeds where compliance to the new speed limit is low and speeds
remain at unacceptable speeds be approved;
(2) the proposed list of roads to be treated with speed reduction measures
based on the approach agreed and shown in Appendix A be approved;
(3) officers be authorised to further investigate the use of average speed
cameras to enforce the 20mph speed limit and the management options and
costs of such systems;
(4) the impact of the implementation of the borough wide 20mph limit continue
to be monitored for changes in speeds and personal injury traffic collisions
(when sufficient collision data becomes available); and
(5) the possible use of average speed cameras subject to their suitability,
affordability and approval by Mayor and Cabinet be noted.
