Minutes:
13.1 The Lead Member considered a report by the Director of Communities, Economy and Transport.
13.2 Mrs Suzanne McAdie, the Lead Petitioner, spoke to request reconsideration of the recommendation.
DECISION
13.3 The Lead Member RESOLVED to inform the petitioners (1) that a 30mph speed limit on this part of the C94 Marley Lane, Battle does not meet the criteria and is not a priority for the County Council; and
(2) that there would be no objection in principle to a community funded 40mph speed limit being investigated.
Reasons
13.4 A 30mph speed limit on Marley Lane is not a priority for the County Council at present due to its relatively good safety record.
13.5 Although there may be no objection in principle to a 40mph speed limit at this location in Marley Lane being considered through the Community Match process, it may not achieve what the petitioners are trying to achieve as the speed survey carried out close to Great Wood Place recorded the existing average speed of the traffic to be 36mph southbound and 37mph northbound with only 19% of the drivers travelling above 40mph.
