20mph Update

Published: 12 November 2024

Thank you to everyone that participated in our recent face to face vote and consultation.

We had three options that people could vote for, and the results were as follows:
1. A partial 20 mph scheme – 113 votes received (23.5%)
2. An extensive 20 mph scheme – 117 votes received (24.3%)
3. No 20 mph scheme - 251 votes received (52.2%)

481 votes were counted. 19 votes were spoiled, so 500 votes received in total.
Our voting papers confirmed that if one scheme had more than 50% of the first choice vote the Parish Council safety group would recommend to Full Council that we do not progress any further with plans for 20mph in the village.

Following a full council meeting tonight we can confirm that Burwell Parish Council have agreed this decision. Highways will be informed of the village’s decision not to progress with 20mph. We will continue to look at other safety initiatives following resident’s feedback at these consultations and over the past few years with the Parish Council.

Thank you again for your support.
Burwell Parish Council Safety Group.
