Approved

The Leader of the Council considered CMDE10 responses received to a formal consultation on proposals to introduce new Disabled Persons’ Parking Places (DPPP) at various locations in Chipping Norton, Great Rollright, and Witney. 

 

With regard to the proposals at Great Rollright Stephen Williams did not object to the access protection markings but felt they should start at the edge of the drive it was protecting and kept to a minimum.  Thee was need to accommodate everyone’s needs for parking.

 

Vikki Lomas appreciated the challenges facing Distons Lane. Any reduction to the white line length would make no real appreciable difference as it would not be possible to park 5 cars and could send a clear signal to drivers to ignore it altogether, which did already happen. She often found it impossible to access her drive and table photographs illustrating that. She also referred to a discrepancy on the plan set out at page 55 of the agenda pack.

 

Mr Ruse confirmed that there were difficulties in Distons Lane and that the line in question was long, covered 3 properties and replaced keep clear signs. Vehicles often parked right up to the axle line and any reduction would affect the ability to access properties.

 

The Leader of the Council noted the comments received from Councillor Hilary Hibbert-Biles regarding Old Forge Road, Great Rollright.

 

Having regard to the argument to the arguments and options in the report before him and the representations made to him at the meeting the Leader of the Council confirmed his decision as follows:

 

To approve the proposed changes as advertised and amended as set out in the report CMDE10.
