Cabinet considered a report proposing to make a Speed Limit Order to reduce a number of speed restrictions on various roads within Burnley, Chorley, South Ribble and West Lancashire to improve the safety and operation of the public highway network.

The order further formalised the current signed Speed Limits on various roads within Chorley, Pendle, Preston, South Ribble and West Lancashire along with correcting anomalies within existing orders in the districts of Burnley, Fylde, Lancaster, and Pendle which had been highlighted by Lancashire Constabulary as requiring amendment to allow for effective enforcement.

In presenting the report, it was noted that Wyre was incorrectly listed in the brief summary of the report however, it was clarified that Wyre was not one of those districts affected.

Resolved: That, the Speed Limit proposals on the various lengths of road within Burnley, Chorley, Fylde, Hyndburn, Lancaster, Pendle, South Ribble and West Lancashire as detailed within this report and as set out in the Draft Order at Appendix 'A' of the report, be approved.
