A91 (Blairlogie) Petition Update
Stirling Council Agenda Item No.7 Date of Environment & Housing Meeting: 12 September 2019 Committee Not Exempt A91 (Blairlogie) Petition Update Purpose & Summary Following a presentation of the A91 (Blairlogie) petition at the Environment & Housing Committee on 6 June 2019, Committee Members requested that officers investigate how a 30mph limit could be introduced to Blairlogie and provide a design for its installation. This report and its appendices present the findings of that investigation. Recommendations Committee is asked to: 1. note the contents of this report; 2. note the options presented; 3. note feedback from consultation with community; and 4. recommend a report to a future Finance & Economy Committee. Resource Implications There is no budget allocation for implementation of 30mph speed limits within the Traffic Management & Community Safety or Implementation of Accident Sites Remedial Programme budgets. Therefore, any decision to carry out works to allow for implementation of 30mph limits will require an additional capital allocation that will require to be considered through the Council’s budget process. Legal & Risk Implications and Mitigation Stirling Council, as the roads authority has a responsibility to set local speed limits in line with national guidance, direction and good practice. Failure to do so may leave Stirling Council open to legal action should an accident occur in an area where the speed limit has not been set in line with that guidance. 1. Background 1.1. The A91 is the primary route linking Stirling and St. Andrew’s. 1.2. Blairlogie is the first of six settlements on the A91, which run along the Hillfoots within Stirling and Clackmannanshire. -
