A representative of the Director of Place Management submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) providing an overview of the proposed implementation of Speed Indicators Devices (SID’s) in the Werneth Area.

The following comments were made/ issues raised:-

·         The proposed new devices represented a significant improvement on those previously deployed by the authority and would allow for better access to the data collected.

·         It was suggested that consideration be given to retaining devices at specific locations for extended periods of time.  In response, it was stated that research suggested that the devices lost their impact if they remained in static locations.

RESOLVED – That the Director of Place Management be authorised to determine the locations for the installation of mobile speed indicator devices within the Bredbury & Woodley and Bredbury Green & Romiley wards (four locations per ward) following consultation with the Highway Ward Spokespersons.
