Decision details

To consider 11 comments in response to consultations regarding proposed 20 mph zones on various roads (Leap Gate residential development) and a proposed 30 mph limit on Leap Gate (from its junction with Green Lane to a point 100 metres south of the school roundabout) 

DECISION MADE

I approve that:

(i)       The proposed speed limits be implemented as advertised.

This decision was published on 2 November 2015 and will come into force on 10 November 2015.

The residential roads have been designed to promote a self-enforcing 20 mph zone.

In response to a large number of representations relating to an initially proposed 40 mph limit in the vicinity of Leap Gate, the Lead Cabinet Member made a decision to re-advertise the length of speed limit on Leap Gate from its junction with Green Lane to a point 100 metres south of the school roundabout as 30 mph.

To:

(i)            Implement the proposals as advertised.

(ii)           Not implement the proposals.

(iii)       Implement the proposals with amendments.

Consultations have been undertaken with the Fire, Police, Ambulance and bus companies, the Council Members for the Area and with the relevant Town and Parish Councils. Advertisements were posted in the local press and on site in prominent positions.
