Decision details

The Runnymede Joint Committee agreed that:

(i)    a notice is advertised in accordance with the Traffic Regulation Act 1984, the effects of which would be to revoke any existing traffic orders necessary, and introduce the proposed reductions in speed limit in Thorpe Lea Road, Vicarage Road and New Wickham Lane shown in Annex 2; and

(ii)  any objections to the Traffic Regulation Order should be considered and resolved by the Area Team Manager for Highways in consultation with the Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the Joint Committee and the local Divisional Member, and that this issue only be returned to Committee if any objections prove insurmountable; and

(iii)the Order be made once any objections have been considered and resolved.

Reasons for recommendations

The recommendations have been made based upon the results of a speed limit assessment carried out in accordance with Surrey County Council’s speed limit policy, and in consultation with Surrey Police.

The proposed reductions in speed limit will help provide more appropriate and consistent speed limits on roads in the local area.
