At our Cabinet meeting on the 13^th July the first tranche of 20mph schemes was agreed for progress this year. An additional £150,000 has been secured in our Road Safety Capital Allocation for a further tranche in 23/24. It is anticipated that 6 further communities could benefit from new 20mph limits with this additional funding.

The first tranche received a significant number of expressions of interest with in total 105 proposals scored and prioritised. It is proposed to utilise the same scoring matrix as used for the current year's tranche.

Where communities have already submitted their expression of interest, they need not do so again, this will be reviewed again and against any expressions from new communities. If a community wishes to modify their proposal they may do so, and this will be reassessed.

What happens next?

Your elected Members will work with your communities to complete new or modified applications. It is important that every application is supported both by the Town or Parish Council and Elected Member prior to assessment.

It is recognised that there is no Town or Parish Council representation for the Exeter area and community support will be discussed separately with those Members. 

To allow for assessment and prioritisation for schemes to be delivered in 23/24 all new or modified submissions must be complete by 31^st January 2023.
