The Cabinet Committee received a report of the Executive Director (Neighbourhoods and Environment) that presented an update on the latest data for traffic flows and speeds in Oakwood Avenue, Leigh-on-Sea.  The Cabinet Committee also had before it the list of top 50 streets in the Borough where vehicles exceed the speed limit.

Whilst it was noted that the level and speed of traffic had reduced significantly in Oakwood Avenue, the Cabinet Committee felt that the situation should continue to be monitored and officers work with Ward Councillors to identify appropriate solutions to address the issue of speeding vehicles in the area.

Resolved:-

1.  That the report be noted.

2.  That officers continue to work with Ward Councillors in respect of the speed of vehicles in Oakwood Avenue.

Reason for Decision

To address concerns of speeding traffic in the area

Other Options
