Agenda item

This report gives the Cabinet Member an update on the collaborative Speed Review Process, set up in York, in conjunction with the Police and Fire Service. The report also goes on to advise him of further locations where concerns about traffic speeds have been raised and provides an update on progress towards assessing these against the agreed prioritisation framework.

RESOLVED:  i)   That the Cabinet Member for City Strategy agrees Option 1 to support the continuation of a partnership approach to dealing with speed complaints.

    ii)   That the Cabinet Members thanks be conveyed to both North Yorkshire Police and the North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Authority for their partnership working in relation to these issues.

REASON:            This would result in, a wider, more in depth process to tackle speed issues in York.

Consideration was given to a report which updated the Cabinet Member on the collaborative Speed Review Process, set up in York, in conjunction with the Police and Fire Service.

The report also advised of further locations where concerns about traffic speeds had been raised, and provided an update on progress towards assessing these against the agreed prioritisation framework.

Consideration was given to the following options:

Option 1 - To continue with the Speed Review Process, in Partnership with the Police and Fire Service.  This gives a pool of resources and expertise that ensures speed concerns are managed and prioritised using a data led method.

Option 2 - To revert back to our own, independent, but smaller process, this would exclude the help from Partners with speed surveys, and analysis of data and targeted enforcement.   This would leave agencies and systems running concurrently.  It would also mean that the Police would no longer support our complaints procedure with the Mobile Safety Camera Van.

RESOLVED:  i)   That the Cabinet Member for City Strategy agrees Option 1 to support the continuation of a partnership approach to dealing with speed complaints.

    ii)   That the Cabinet Members thanks be conveyed to both North Yorkshire Police and the North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Authority for their partnership working in relation to these issues.^1.

REASON:            This would result in, a wider, more in depth process to tackle speed issues in York.
