Details of Specific Cabinet Delegation

or Delegation contained in the relevant Sub-Scheme of Delegation.

Decision:

Approval of the proposal to reduce the speed limit along various roads in the West Melton area to 20mph.

Reasons for the Decision:

To enable the implementation of a 20mph speed limit to assist in the reduction of the incidence or likelihood of injury & non injury road traffic collisions taking place.

Details of alternative options considered and rejected:

A 20mph speed limit was originally considered at Christchurch Road only, however speeds are in line with those required to introduce the lower speed limit at other roads in the vicinity. It is expected that the extension of the 20mph speed limit will have a beneficial effect if extended to the various roads now included in this proposal.
