Decision details

The Committee received a presentation from Cllr Liz Duncan supporting the 20’s Plenty for Oxfordshire scheme.

The scheme was concerned with reducing speed limits in residential areas and was lobbying the County Council to adopt a default 20mph limit in town centres and villages. The results from this would offer better value for money than the current piecemeal approach and

County Council Officers advised it was aware of the scheme and understood the issues. It had many synergies with the open Local Connectivity consultation and design guides for new developments were being updated which would help.

RESOLVED:

1.      That the Witney Traffic Advisory Committee supports the 20’s Plenty for Oxfordshire scheme; and,

2.      Asks that the scheme is debated at a Witney Town Council meeting of the Climate, Biodiversity & Planning Committee.
