Agenda item

The City of London Police Superintendent Hector McKoy provided an update on the 20MPH zone for the Group, noting that the scheme was working well and was receiving the full support of the court. During launch week fliers were handed out to motorists to advise them of the new 20MPH zone, any motorist who exceeding the speed limit within an agreed threshold were offered a Speed Awareness Course. However, if the speed was above any agreed threshold, motorists would receive a Fixed Penalty Notice or Court Process depending on their speed. In addition, there were 3 levels of fines imposed by the Court with the highest taking 150% of a defendant’s weekly income.

In response to a question, Superintendent Hector McKoy agreed to provide information on whether the 20MPH zone had improved safety at a later date.

·         Superintendent provide a report on whether the 20MPH zone has improved safety; and
