Is Key Decision?: No

Is Callable In?: No

Purpose: The purpose of this proposal is to revoke sections of 30 mph restricted roads for which a Traffic Regulation Order is no longer required, to ensure consistent and accurate descriptions for the lengths of road contained herein. The proposal seeks to enable the future implementation of an alternative speed limit that better reflects the road’s character, usage, and safety requirements. These revocations are taking place to ensure consistency and allow the police to enforce the speed limit effectively. There will be no changes to the restrictions or their extent on site. Therefore, drivers will not be subject to any changes as a result of this proposal. Consultations Formal consultation was carried out between 21 November 2025 and 19 December 2025 which included advertising in the local press and notices being displayed on site. Divisional county councillors were consulted along with the council's usual consultees and the consultation documents posted on the council's website. Following formal consultation No Objections were received.

Content: Peter Bell, Highway Regulation Manager, on behalf of Matt Townsend, Director of Highways and Transport, took the decision to approve the proposal as set out in the report.

Date of Decision: January 14, 2026
