SPEED LIMIT A245 STOKE ROAD, STOKE D'ABERNON
The Cabinet Member is asked to consider a referral from the Environment and Transport Select Committee requesting that the decision in relation to the Speed Limit on A245 Stoke Road taken on 21 November 2012 be reconsidered. The Cabinet Member’s decision was as follows:
“That the Elmbridge Local Committee request for a reduction of the current speed limit on the A245, Stoke Road, Stoke D’Abernon, from its existing 40 mph, to 30 mph, between the existing 30 mph limit near Leigh Hill Road to a suitable point just east of the Chelsea Football Club training ground, not be endorsed”.
The referral from the Select Committee arises from its consideration of the Cabinet Member’s decision at its meeting on 10 December 2012 following a request by three of its members that the matter be called-in for review.
It is RECOMMENDED that the Cabinet Member consider the referral from the Environment and Transport Select Committee before agreeing whether the decision taken on 21 November 2012 be amended or not, before adopting a final decision.
Reason for decision
To consider the referral from the Environment and Transport Select Committee and agree a final decision as to whether the current speed on the A245 Stoke Road, Stoke D’Abernon, be reduced from its existing 40 mph, to 30 mph, between the existing 30 mph limit near Leigh Hill Road to a suitable point just east of the Chelsea Football Club training ground. Decision: After careful consideration of the referral from the Environment and Transport Select Committee, requesting that the decision in relation to the speed limit on A245 Stoke Road, Stoke D’Abernon, taken at his meeting on 21 November 2012 be re-considered, together with advice from the Road Safety & Traffic Management Officer, Surrey Police and the Highways officers, he agreed that he would not endorse the reduction from 40mph to 30mph as requested by Elmbridge Local Committee, for the stretch of road between the existing 30mph limit near Leigh Hill Road to a suitable point just east of the Chelsea Football club training ground. |
