Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: Yes
To consider the comments received following the formal advertisement of a proposed 30-mph speed limit in Great Durnford, Durnford and to recommend an appropriate way forward.
I approve that:
(i) The proposals be implemented as advertised.
(ii) The objectors be advised accordingly.
This decision was published on 27 December 2023 and will come into force on 5 January 2024.
The proposal is intended to improve road and pedestrian safety and to allay concerns of safety expressed by residents. It is considered that by lowering the speed limit this will discourage rat-running at peak times and encourage greater uptake of walking and cycling.
To:
i.Implement the proposals as advertised.
ii.Implement the proposals as advertised with amendments.
iii.Abandon the proposals.
