Issue - meetings

The Cabinet Member is asked to consider whether to endorse the Waverley Local Committee’s request to reduce the speed limit on A283 Petworth Road, Milford.  Under the county’s Speed Limit Policy, the Cabinet Member for Highways, Transport and Flooding is given the authority to endorse a new speed limit which does not comply with the policy.

1.       That the Waverley Local Committee request to reduce the speed limit to 30mph on the A283 Petworth Road between the Cherry Tree roundabout and the existing 30 mph speed limit near Milford Heath Road be approved, on an experimental basis to be reviewed after one year, with one condition that the Local Committee review the opportunity to add further signage or proposals that may assist in managing the speed in the road in an improved manner.

2.       The recommended outcome proposed by officers in the report to the Local Committee be refused.
