Purpose
This Decision Sheet presents 5 formal objections, received in response to the formal advertising of a Speed Limit Order (SLO) on Moor Road, Ilkley. These proposals (as identified within Drawing No. P/HS/THN/105415/CON-1A (attached as Appendix A)) intend to change the speed limit from 30mph to 40mph on a section of the moorland road.

This experimental reduction along the full length of the route has resulted in some road safety issues, especially along the straighter section between the Cow

Drawing No. P/HS/THN/105415/CON-1A (attached in Appendix A of this Decision
Sheet)) be approved and implemented with immediate effect.
