Agenda item

It was moved by Councillor Smith,

Seconded by Councillor Wright,

“This Council resolves:-

Immediately stop all current/ongoing projects undertaken by the Highways Department to introduce traffic calming, reduce the number of carriageways, narrow carriageway widths, block-off roads to through-traffic, and fill-in bus stop lay-bys; it should thereby present a report open to scrutiny by Members on the effectiveness of such measures already implemented against the criteria of whether they have added to congestion or reduced journey times; any measures that have added to congestion and journey times are inherently unsafe and against the interests of Slough residents going about their daily business and should consequently be removed.”

The motion was put to the vote and lost by 30 votes to 6 with 4 abstentions.
