A representative of the Assistant Director – Legal & Democratic Governance submitted a joint report on behalf of the Director of Place Management and Assistant Director – Legal & Democratic Governance (copies of which had been circulated) which detailed the objections made in relation to the proposed Moving Traffic Regulation Order - 20mph Speed Limit on Woodford Garden Village, Woodford.

The following comments were made/ issues raised:-

·         It was noted that there had been a public question regarding Shackleton Road, which would be covered by the Moving Traffic Regulation Order.

·         Clarification was requested in relation to the speed limit proposals for the whole of Woodford Garden Village. 

·         It was commented that Stockport Council could not approve a 10mph limit as requested in objections and public questions, as a 10mph speed limit would require consent from the Secretary of State.

·         Members requested that Redrow be asked to consider signage highlighting children playing on the roads in proximity to the nearby park.

RESOLVED – That, having considered a number of objections to the proposed Moving Traffic Regulation Order - 20mph Speed Limit on Woodford Garden Village, Woodford, the Area Committee agreed that notwithstanding the objections, the order be made as advertised.
