Cabinet received a report which requested it to consider the conclusions and recommendations made in the task and finish review with regards to 20mph signed speed limits.
At its meeting on 17th April 2013, Council called upon the Sustainable Growth and Environment Capital Scrutiny Committee to investigate the benefits of extending 20mph signed speed limits throughout all residential areas in the Peterborough District and present proposals to the Cabinet.
A cross party task and finish group investigated the impact of 20mph speed limits in residential areas and reported its findings and recommendations to the Sustainable Growth and Environment Capital Scrutiny Committee on 20th January 2014.
Cabinet considered the report and RESOLVED:
1. To await authorities to publicise impacts of 20mph speed limits;
2. To undertake a public consultation, alongside the Budget consultation, to gain views of residents on 20mph speed limits; and
3. To agree to support any Parish Council wishing to implement 20mph speed limits, utilising its own budget to do so.
