Traffic Order map schedules across the parish.
Minutes:
The Parish Council contacted the Civil Parking
team in July 2022 to request changes to parking restrictions in Wood Lane and
Woodlands Road. It was discovered that some of the existing Traffic Order
documents had some existing yellow lines missing and so it was agreed to
undertake a joint project to correct the records and consult upon some proposed
changes simultaneously.
The Chair invited Cllr Bidgood to address the
meeting and responded to the points made.
Cllr Bidgood welcomed all the report
recommendations and wished to thank the team, in particular Mike Horton – Technical
Officer, Parking, for the help provided throughout the development of the
proposed scheme.
The Chair noted and addressed the responses to
the consultation.
The Chair referred to response 7 and requested that officers provide a response to the points raised. Following the meeting, James Whiting, Principal Officer – Parking, provided a response via email.
