Minutes:
15.1 The Lead Member considered a report by the Director of Communities, Economy and Transport which provided a response to a petition presented to the County Council in February.
DECISIONS
15.2 RESOLVED to advise the petitioners that a 20mph speed limit on Station Road, Groombridge is not a priority for the County Council at the present time.
Reasons
15.3 To introduce an effective 20mph speed limit on Station Road, Groombridge it would be necessary to introduce engineering measures to help reduce the drivers’ speed in accordance with the lower speed limit. As the road has a relatively good safety record, and considering the circumstances of the injury crashes on the C70 Station Road, a 20mph speed limit is not a priority for the County Council at the present time.
