Decision:

The Cabinet Member for Traffic and Transportation approved the spend from the Speed Reduction Measure budget  of speed reduction measures along Southwick Hill Road, Old Manor Way and Clive Road (all locations illustrated in Appendix A of the report). 

Minutes:

Michelle Love, Safer Travel Manager, presented the report and explained how the three sites had been prioritised with the use of police speed data and information from residents and what measures would be implemented.

 

Councillor Bosher welcomed the proposals for Old Manor Way, asked about timings for implementation and hoped there would be further measures to improve safety by the local schools along Springfield Road, due to major  development sites in that area.  He also felt the measures at Southwick Hill Road did not go far enough to combat the speeding, especially by motorcyclists, in that area.  Michelle Love responded that the Old Manor Way signs would be in place before the end of the financial year, although the works were weather dependent.  The Old Dairy site at Drayton would have Community Infrastructure Levy funding which would help with work at junctions in the vicinity and a LTP funding bid would also be considered. With regard to speeding motorcyclists at "the triangle" by the George PH joint safety campaigns were taking place with the police, and the accident data there continued to be monitored in case a bid is needed in the following financial year.

 

Councillor Heaney was concerned that at Clive Road the 20mph limit was not enforced; Councillor Stagg responded that the police will not enforce but there are education and enforcement days.  Michelle Love added that there are also community enforcement groups who voluntarily undertake speedwatch exercises who could be contacted.

 

Councillor Stagg supported these safety measures.
