Agenda item

Report of the Director of the Built Environment.

The Committee considered a report of the Director of the Department of the Built Environment which summarised the activities and outcome of the 20mph speed limit scheme that commenced on 20 July 2014.

Members noted the measured average speeds were now 1.5mph lower than they were before the introduction of the 20mph speed limit.  The key objective of the scheme was to contribute to reversing the trend of the increase in traffic casualties in the City and it was agreed to provide further information regarding casualty statistics and trends.

The Committee specifically discussed the issues associated with the redevelopment of Bank Junction.  It was agreed that a meeting between the Chairmen and Deputy Chairmen of the Police and Planning and Transportation Committees would be organised to discuss lobbying Transport for London in respect of these issues.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
