Minutes: The Cabinet Member
for Environment & Infrastructure introduced the Cabinet report which
advises Members on the proposal to make the national default speed limit on
restricted roads 20mph and detailed those roads which will be exempt and remain
at 30mph. The report detailed
the consultation process to be followed and the approach taken in respect of
implementation of the requirement, with the reduction in the default speed
limit coming into effect on 17 September 2023. The Road Safety
Manager detailed the implementation of the National 20mph rollout and exemption
process. Committee
questioning and discussion focussed on the following: ·
Funding – Officers to provide a detailed breakdown of
the cost of implementation for which Welsh Government funding is sought. ·
Compliance and enforcement issues. ·
The importance of retaining existing road
signage/markings that are consistent with the new speed limit, particularly
around schools, as a reminder about the limit and to reinforce the message
about the speed reduction. ·
The extent of public communication necessary and
the role of the Council in ensuring the successful implementation. ·
Engagement with Local Councillors. The Chair thanked
the Cabinet Member for Environment & Infrastructure, and officers present,
for information provided, including technical advice, and assisting the
Committee’s discussion of the report. Resolved that the Chair attend Cabinet on 23 March, 2023 to reflect the views of
the Committee.
