Purpose

To consider the comments received following the formal advertisement of a proposed 20-mph speed limit for the village of Neston, Corsham and to recommend an appropriate way forward.

Decision

            I approve that:

(i)             The proposals be implemented as advertised.

(ii)            The objectors be advised accordingly.

This decision was published on 10 November 2023 and will come into force on 20 November 2023.

Reasons for the decision

The proposals are intended to improve traffic conditions by reducing the speed limit to 20-mph on roads within Neston village. This is in line with national guidance and the changes are proposed following a detailed speed limit assessment by the Council’s term consultants.  Collectively, these changes should provide a positive impact on road safety. The proposals will also be in accordance with both Priority 2 and Priority 4 of the Council’s Business Plan.

Alternative options considered

To:

(i)             Implement the proposals as advertised.

(ii)            Abandon the proposals.
