Issue - meetings

Agreed

The Cabinet Member for Environment considered (CMDE8) objections to a formal consultation on proposals to introduce new parking restrictions on the Shilton Park estate in Carterton.

Yvonne Conway spoke in support of the revised proposals.  The original proposals had been wholly unfair insofar as they had removed the option of parking their second car on the road outside their property particularly as parking in that area did not create safety issues or traffic flow problems.

The Cabinet Member noted the comments from another resident Mrs Caroline Martland which had been set out on the addenda sheet and also the support for the revised proposals expressed by County Councillor Peter Handley (Carterton South & West)

Mr Tole commended the revised proposals which represented a good solution.  Regarding the comments raised by Mrs Martland he felt the costs involved were justified in order to meet problems identified by the consultation and to support bus services into the estate. He confirmed that it was not the County Council’s intention to introduce this sort of restriction on all estates and each case would be considered on its merits.

Councillor Neil Owen (Burford and Carterton North) supported the proposals and thanked officers for setting out the revisions to the original scheme which now had the support of the majority of residents.

Having regard to the arguments and options set out in the documentation before him, the representations made to him and the further considerations set out above the Cabinet Member for Environment confirmed his decision as follows:

approve the proposed parking restrictions for Shilton Park Estate, Carterton as advertised and amended and as described in the report CMDE8 and shown at Annex 3 to the report CMDE8.
