Consultees
The 20mph policy has been discussed by the Environment, Highways and Waste Cabinet Committee at its meeting of 4th July 2012 where it was resolved that:
(a) the existing policy be noted; and
(b) new 20mph schemes be promoted only
as part of a Casualty Reduction Scheme until the current trials had
been evaluated, and a new formal policy had been adopted by the
County Council.
The new policy referred to in (b) above is currently
due to be reported to the same cabinet Committee at its meeting
scheduled for the 3 October 2013
In addition key
stakeholders such as Kent Police have been and will continue to be
consulted as the new policy is developed.
