Purpose

This report is to advise the Buchan Area Committee of the recommendations resulting from the petition received regarding traffic speeds and safety measures in Longside.

Decision

Having highlighted that the current policy does not allow for consideration in relation to future planned developments and does not take cognisance of Place, agreed to refer to a Stage 1 Scrutiny to allow Officers to provide detail back in respect of following issues raised (1) that the traffic counts and pedestrian crossing assessment within Longside should be repeated based on a formula which takes into consideration future developments in and around the surrounding area of Longside and which will impact on the village and (2) to include detail in relation to any accidents that have happened within the village, not just those that are reportable through Police Scotland.

Further agreed to welcome a report back in relation to the implementation of the 20mph programme to allow evaluation as to whether it has had any impact within the village.
