Issue - meetings

As detailed in the recommendations.

The Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Environment provided information on the conclusions of the speed limit review covering the ‘A class’ and ‘B class’ road network within the Authority, and sought support and endorsement for the implementation of the remedial measures set out within the documentation.

All highway authorities had been requested to review, in accordance with the guidance, the speed limits of all their A and B roads, and implement any changes by 31 December 2014.  Feedback from the consultation was detailed in Appendix A to the report, together with the response from officers on the requests and comments received.  Plans detailing the extent of the 38 proposed changes were detailed in  Appendix B to the report.

The proposed changes could not all be undertaken at the same time and the criteria in order to assist prioritisation was:

·        Road traffic collision history

·        A review of the layout and configuration of the road, to identify other safety measures that could be introduced

·        Recommendations provided by the North Wales Police, through statistical information on routes with the highest casualty rates

RESOLVED:

(a)       That the proposals set out in Appendix A be supported and endorsed; and

(b)       That the Director, in consultation with the Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Environment, reviews comments raised by Members and be given authority to make amendments where it is deemed appropriate to do so.
