1.			TITLE:	Speed limit change in Brookers Row, Crowthorne
2.		SERVICE AREA:			Place, Planning & Regeneration
3.		PURPOSE OF DECISION
To consider a speed limit change in Brookers Row, Crowthorne
4		IS KEY DECISION					No
5.		DECISION MADE BY:					Executive Member for Planning & Transport
6.			DECISION:
i. That the formal objections received during the statutory consultation process and the corresponding Officer comments are noted; ii. That the position with regard to local ward Members comments received during the informal consultation process is noted; iii. That the speed limit proposal be amended to 40mph in light of the objection received from Thames Valley Police; iv. That the Borough Solicitor be authorised to bring the Brookers Row – 40mph speed limit Order into effect.
7.		REASON FOR DECISION
Residents of Brookers Row have requested the speed limit on the road be lowered to a 30mph speed limit rather than the existing 60mph. During the Traffic Regulation Order statutory consultation period the Council received an objection to the 30mph speed limit proposal from Thames Valley Police. In order to continue a policy of working with the police on speed limits it is recommended to modify the proposal to a 40mph which the police have indicated they would support.
8.		ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS CONSIDERED
i. To not install a lower speed limit would likely be unpopular with local residents and local Council members, therefore not progressing with the proposals is not seen as a viable option. ii. Proceeding with the installation of a 30mph speed limit would be in contravention of the Council’s policy of working with the Police on the introduction & enforcement of speed limits.
