Tuesday March 22, 2016 Decision on school speed limits.

The Cabinet member has made his decision.

 

I approvethat the proposal to allow advisory 20 mph restrictions linked to a school travel plan be accepted.

 

Reasons for the decision:

To ensure resources are available to maintain the current practice of undertaking pedestrian and cycle training, together with the other activities set out in the Road Safety Strategy, it is considered vital that the limited funding available is used wisely.  A blanket role out of advisory 20 mph restrictions is therefore not considered to be economically viable.  By linking advisory 20 mph restrictions to an up to date travel plan and by bidding through the Taking Action on School Journeys fund it is considered more likely that this will identify the fullest possible range of appropriate safety measures.
