Report by Corporate Director Environment & Place (CMDHM7).
Approval of an amendment to the Traffic Regulation Order to address current difficulties in enforcing parking within the loading bays.
The Cabinet Member for Highway Management is RECOMMENDED to
approve the proposed amendments to waiting restrictions at the loading bays at
George Street Oxford.
Decision:
The Cabinet Member for Highway Management APPROVED
the proposed amendments to waiting restrictions at the loading bays at George
Street Oxford:
Minutes:
The report presented the consultation responses to
the proposed amendment to loading bay restrictions.
The Chair read out an email received from a resident
requesting that the loading bays be used by restaurants for outside dining when
not in use and referred to comments from the consultation regarding a wider
discussion on the use of George Street. The Chair pointed out that although
this was not part of the decision today, the Council was undertaking the
Central Oxfordshire Movement and Place Framework which would be considering allocation
of road space, connectivity, environment etc.
Officers explained that the no waiting at any time
restriction would be replaced by a no waiting restriction between 10am and 6pm
and a single yellow line placed within the current loading bay. This would
allow enforcement officers to issue tickets outside of loading bay times as the
markings would be correct.
The Cabinet Member for Highway Management APPROVED
the proposed amendments to waiting restrictions at the loading bays at George
Street Oxford:
