The Cabinet Member for Highway Management considered (CMDHM12) responses received to a statutory consultation on 3 separate proposals including:

·           Removal of a section of no waiting at any time restrictions (double yellow lines) and proposed extension of a permit holders parking bay in Ferry Road.

·           Introduction of a section of no waiting restriction (single yellow line) and removal of existing permit holders parking bay in Hayes Close.

·           Removal of a section of no waiting at any time restrictions (double yellow lines) and proposed extension of permit holders or 2 hour parking bay in Nicholson Road.

Mrs J Seedhouse referred to an undertaking given in 2019 that the parking bay outside her house in Hayes Close, Marston would be removed but nothing had been done to date.  The bay was often used by unauthorised vehicles which  often blocked her view and light and on many occasions she had seen parents with young children in pushchairs forced to go onto the road to get past these large vehicles. Parking in the bay also increased the risk of vehicle collisions because there was less space and limited vision for delivery drivers going left or right into Hayes Close. For these reasons she supported the proposal to remove the parking bay with provision of a new parking bay in Nicholson Road, on the corner with Hayes Close.

Acknowledging the views put forward by the speaker and having regard to the information in the report before him the Cabinet Member for Highway Management confirmed his decision as follows:

to approve the proposed amendments to waiting restrictions and parking places as advertised in:

(a)      Hayes Close & Nicholson Road

(b)      Ferry Road.
