PDF 110 KBDecision Maker: Executive Member for Planning and Transport
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
To consider the introduction of a 20mph speed
limit in West End Lane, Binfield
Decision:
1 That the formal objections received during the statutory consultation process and the corresponding Officer comments be noted;
2 That the position with regard to local ward Members comments received during the informal consultation process be noted;
3 That the Borough Solicitor be authorised to bring the West End Lane – 20mph speed limit Order into effect.
Reasons for the decision:
Speed surveys have shown the appropriate speed limit in West End Lane is 20mph. In addition, the installation of a new 20mph speed limit on West End Lane will contribute towards improving road safety following the installation of the ‘greenway’footway/cycleway.
Alternative options considered:
To not install the 20mph speed limit would be unlikely to result in a decrease in road safety however the change in speed limit is supported by the majority of residents and therefore not progressing with the proposals would likely be very unpopular.
