Petition - Request for a 40mph speed limit extension on the A2100 London Road, Battle

Decision Maker: Lead Member for Transport and Environment

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

To consider the petition calling on the County Council to extend the 40mph speed limit beyond that being proposed for the new Lillybank development to a suitable location north of Canadia Road. The limit is being extended as part of a Section 106 Agreement for the Millwood Homes development (Lillybank Farm), and an extension north of Canadia Road will help protect vulnerable residents from the excessive speeding frequently endangering lives

Decisions:

17.1     The Lead Member considered a report by the Director of Communities, Economy and Transport.

 

17.2     Councillor Kathryn Field as the Local Member and Lead Petitioner for the petition calling on the County Council requesting a 40mph speed limit extension on the A2100 London Road, Battle, spoke to highlight safety concerns along the stretch of road from the new Lillybank development to Canadia Road.

 

DECISIONS

 

17.3     The Lead Member RESOLVED to: advise the petitioners that an extension of the 40mph speed limit on the A2100 London Road beyond that agreed for the Lillybank development is not a priority for investigation by the County Council at the present time.

 

REASONS

 

17.4     An extension of the 40mph speed limit on the A2100 London Road beyond that which has been agreed for the Lillybank development is not a priority for further investigation by the County Council at the present time due to its lack of visible frontage development and good safety record.
