The proposed 20mph speed limit on Davidson Road was originally due to be discussed at the July 2009 meeting of the Traffic Management Committee, making one wonder why the deadline for objections was the 1st April. It never appeared on the agenda for that meeting but was on the Agenda for the October 2009 meeting. There had been just three objections to the scheme but it the light of those the six local councillors covering the area were consulted and it turned out that three didn't support the proposal, two thought it was too severe, and only one supported it. The report to the committee recommended that the 20mph proposal be revoked and hopefully the committee members accepted that recommendation.

The report to the committee persists in the suggestion that Davidson Road is 1.165 km long which would still seem to be an error. Looking at a map it would seem to be about a mile long and the AA journey planner certainly agrees.
