The Leader of the Council considered (CMDE7) responses received to a statutory consultation to introduce additional waiting restrictions on Mill Road, Shiplake put forward because of residential development on the east side of Mill Road, Shiplake.

The Leader noted comments received from Councillor David Bartholomew, the local member which confirmed that he and the parish council supported the proposal but had concerns that double-yellow lines on one side of the road would simply displace parking to the other side. They would have preferred yellow lines on both sides of the road but he had understood that that would now would involve a further consultation.  Therefore, supporting approval of the current proposal they asked that the restriction be monitored having regard to their concerns above.

Acknowledging support of the local member and the Parish Council but also their concerns regarding displaced parking and need for suitable monitoring to gauge the effect of the proposed restriction the Leader of the Council having regard to the information set out in the report before him together with the representations made to him at the meeting confirmed his decision as follows:

to approve proposed waiting restrictions on Mill Lane at Shiplake as advertised while noting both the support of the local member and parish council but also their concerns regarding displaced parking and need for suitable monitoring to gauge effect of the proposals.
