Report by Director for Infrastructure Delivery (CMDE10).

The report presents responses received to a statutory consultation to introduce waiting restrictions comprising a length of double yellow lines - ‘no waiting at any time’ - on both sides of the road within 25 metres of its junction with Bicester Road, and single yellow lines (with waiting prohibited Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm) also on both sides of the road for a further 355 metres southwards. The proposals are being promoted at the request of Gosford and Water Eaton Parish Council, who are also funding the proposal, in order to address concerns over the use of the road for commuter parking.

The Cabinet Member for the Environment is RECOMMENDED to:

a)           approve the proposed double yellow lines (no waiting at any time) restrictions on Water Eaton Lane in the vicinity of the junction with Bicester Road;

b)           not to approve the proposed single yellow lines (waiting prohibited Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm) further to the south on Water Eaton Lane.

Approved

The Cabinet Member for Environment considered CMDE9 responses received to a statutory consultation to introduce waiting restrictions comprising a length of double yellow lines - ‘no waiting at any time’ - on both sides of the road within 25 metres of its junction with Bicester Road, and single yellow lines (with waiting prohibited Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm) also on both sides of the road for a further 355 metres southwards. The proposals were being promoted at the request of Gosford and Water Eaton Parish Council, who were also funding the proposal, in order to address concerns over the use of the road for commuter parking.

Referring to objections received from local residents regarding the lack of any perceived problem with regard to commuter parking Mr Kirkwood confirmed that observations on site confirmed that to be the case. However, there was a case in his view to retain restrictions in the vicinity of the Bicester Road junction on traffic safety grounds.

Noting those comments together with the information set out in the report before her the Cabinet Member for Environment confirmed her decision as follows:

(a)      to approve the proposed double yellow lines (no waiting at any time) restrictions on Water Eaton Lane in the vicinity of the junction with Bicester Road;

(b)      not to approve the proposed single yellow lines (waiting prohibited Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm) further to the south on Water Eaton Lane.
