Agenda and decisions

Councillor Jeanette Clifford

Resolved that the Portfolio Holder for Highways and Transport approves the recommendations as set out in the ID report and as follows:

1: Enborne Road, Enborne – request for a 40mph speed limit to be introduced as proposed was initially rejected on the grounds that all were concerned over the length of road involved. On discussion between the task group and Parish Councillor Alan Croney, it was agreed that a 40mph limit covering the village from the current eastern village sign to just beyond public right of way ENB0/13 would be acceptable to all and was recommended.

2: Yattendon Lane, Yattendon – request to relocate the 30mph speed limit closer to the village, it was recommended that the area in between the current 30mph terminal signs and the new location is converted to a 40mph speed limit. Recommended for approval.

3: School Road, Compton – request for a 20mph speed limit between Compton Primary School and the village centre including associated side roads. This was agreed on the provision traffic calming measures are agreed with both the Parish Council and the public. The works will be subject to funding from Section 106 money.

5: Burdens Heath, Upper Bucklebury – request for the 30mph to be extended to cover a newly built property on the edge of the village. This was agreed however the Chair recommended that this should not be funded from capital funding, the Chair recommended contacting the Parish for them to discuss the funding of the scheme with the applicant.

6: B3051, Brimpton Common – the majority of the route for which the 30mph speed limit is requested falls under the remit of Hampshire County Council. Only a small section of the B3051 in Brimpton Common (approximately 150 metres) falls within the West Berkshire area. It was agreed that should Hampshire County Council proceed they should lead and we will agree to our small section being included within their Traffic Regulation Order, West Berkshire Council will fund any signage within our area out of our capital budget.

4: Fishers Lane, Cold Ash - the current unrestricted speed limit is appropriate and should not be changed.

This decision is eligible to be ‘called-in’.  However, if the decision has not been ‘called-in’ by 5.00pm on 27 December 2017, then it will be implemented.
