Report by Director of Community Operations (CMDE6).

A proposal to introduce additional waiting restrictions at Reading Road, Wallingford as a result of the development of adjacent land was deferred by the Cabinet Member for Environment on 31 May 2019 to enable a revised proposal to be considered.  The report sets out the responses to the original consultation which are pertinent to that deferral and presents the detail of the revised proposal.

The Cabinet Member for the Environment is RECOMMENDED to approve a reduced extent of additional waiting restrictions (rather than those as originally advertised) on Reading Road at Wallingford to protect the immediate vicinity of the new access to residential development and at the bridge as set out at Annex 2 to the report CMDE6.

Approved

The Leader of the Council considered a proposal to introduce additional waiting restrictions at Reading Road, Wallingford as a result of development of adjacent land and which had been deferred by the Cabinet Member for Environment on 31 May 2019 to enable a revised proposal to be considered.  The report (CMDE6) set out the responses to the original consultation pertinent to that deferral, presented detail of the revised proposal and a verbal update from officers on any further responses received from residents to the revised proposal.

Julian Richardson confirmed that he had met former County Councillor Lynda Atkins on site to discuss revised proposals and based on that residents had been contacted again. That had not resulted in any further objections or comments from them.

The Leader of the Council believed a good compromise had been reached but considered enforcement was essential.  Therefore, having regard to that along with the information in the report and the representations made to him at the meeting he confirmed his decision as follows:

to approve a reduced extent of additional waiting restrictions (rather than those as originally advertised) on Reading Road at Wallingford to protect the immediate vicinity of the new access to residential development and at the bridge as set out at Annex 2 to the report CMDE6.

Report by Director of Community Operations (CMDE12).

The report presents responses received to a statutory consultation to introduce additional waiting restrictions at Reading Road, Wallingford put forward due to development of adjacent land.

The Cabinet Member for Environment is RECOMMENDED to approve a reduced extent of additional waiting restrictions (rather than those as advertised) on Reading Road at Wallingford to protect the immediate vicinity of the new access to residential development and at the adjacent bridge.

Deferred

The Cabinet Member for Environment had before her a report (CMDE12) presenting responses received to a statutory consultation to introduce additional waiting restrictions at Reading Road, Wallingford put forward due to development of adjacent land.

However, responding to representations from County Councillor Lynda Atkins the local member that an alternative proposal for the traffic restrictions which was to be presented at this meeting had not allowed time for consultation beforehand with local residents and therefore the extent to which it might mitigate their very real concerns the Cabinet Member for Environment agreed to Councillor Atkins’ request to defer to enable that consultation to take place and confirmed her decision as follows:  

to defer consideration of additional waiting restrictions on Reading Road at Wallingford to a future meeting.
