Report by Deputy Director for Environment & Economy - Commercial & Delivery (CMDE6).

The Cabinet Member for Environment considered a report that set out objections to a formal consultation on proposals to introduce new Disabled Persons’ Parking Places (DPPPs) at various sites in the following locations:

·              Oxford, Headington Kennett Road;

·              Oxford, City Centre, Pembroke Square;

·              Oxford, Iffley Fields, Stratford Street;

·              Oxford, Iffley Fields, Warwick Street;

Mike Ruse told the meeting that parking in Kennett Road was particularly problematic and this request had been vehemently opposed by neighbours.  It has also come to light that the applicant may have the use of a private garage and hard standing that had not been previously declared, and this needed to be investigated further.  In light of this a deferral of the decision with regards to this DPPP was requested.

Having regard to the arguments and options set out in the documentation before him and the further considerations set out above the Cabinet Member for Environment then confirmed his decisions on this matter as follows:

(a)    To agree to introduce new Disabled Persons’ Parking Places (DPPPs)  in respect of:

·              Pembroke Square, City Centre, Oxford

·              Stratford Street, Iffley Fields, Oxford

·              Warwick Street, Iffley Fields, Oxford

(b)    to defer a decision in respect of Kennett Road, Headington, Oxford to allow further investigation.
