Brighton and Hove 20mph limit Phase 2 - Results of Public Consultation

Decision Maker: Environment, Transport & Sustainability Committee

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

Report on the results of the public consutation of Phase 2 of the 20mph programme

Decision:

1)                 That the Committee notes the results of the public consultation on proposals to implement a City-wide 20mph scheme.

 

2)                 That the Committee authorises officers to proceed with advertising the formal Speed Limit Orders (SLO) for the changes in speed limit as described in the revised Phase 2 proposals outlined in this report and presented in map format in Appendix 1 subject to the following amendments:

 

i)              That in view of a) the concerns expressed by Brighton & Hove Bus Company and the taxi trade and b) the lack of support from residents for a 20mph limit, that a decision on including Portland Road in the proposed scheme be deferred to enable further monitoring and analysis of road safety and accident data and that a report on the results of that work be brought back to a future meeting of this Committee.

 

ii)            That in view of the lack of a clear mandate from residents for introducing a 20mph limit in the area bounded by and including Ditchling Road, Surrenden Road, Braybon Avenue (including Old Farm Road and Graham Avenue) and Carden Avenue (excluding the Carden Avenue service road), that a decision on including these roads in the proposed scheme be deferred.

 

iii)          The section of Surrenden Road and Braybon Avenue linking Preston Drove with Carden Avenue remain at the current speed.

 

iv)          That the following roads are excluded from the 20mph scheme and remain at current speed limits by reason of them both being key bus and taxi routes and a majority of residents in both roads having voted against these roads being included within the 20mph scheme:

 

·        PrestonDrove from the junction with Preston Road and Ditchling Road at the 5 ways.

 

·        Stanford Avenue from the junction with Preston Road and Ditchling Road at the 5 ways.
