Minutes:

Nick Healey outlined the case for reducing the speed limit from 50mph to 40mph between Fairways and Junction A244 Cadbury Road/ Windmill Road and from 40mph to 30mph between Junction A244 Cadbury Road/ Windmill Road and Sunbury Cross Roundabout on the A308, Staines Road West.  Nick said that the Road Safety Team considered other engineering measures as well as reducing the speed limits and considered schemes across the county.  Nick also said that any change in speed limit is reviewed and could be referred back to the Local Committee who can then decide whether they wish to revert back to the previous speed limit.
