Speed Limit Change on A329 Reading Road
See notes
Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I am requesting the following information in relation to the recent reduction of the speed limit from 40mph to 30mph on the A329 Reading Road:
1. The date the Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) for this speed limit change was formally made;
2. The methods and dates by which public notice of the proposed change was issued (including publication in local newspapers, council website announcements, and roadside notices);
3. The start and end dates of the public consultation or objection period;
4. Whether any objections were received during this period, and if so, how they were addressed;
5. Confirmation of the date on which new signage was installed, and evidence that signage complied with statutory requirements prior to enforcement.
I understand that a draft proposal was submitted on 30 May 2024, but many local residents, including myself, were unaware of the change until it was recently shared via a local Facebook group. As a resident affected by this change, I am requesting this information to understand whether the proper legal process and public engagement obligations were followed.
