The
Committee considered (TD5) amendments to parking arrangements in a number of
streets in and around Summertown CPZ in the light of comments received to a
consultation to vary the Traffic regulation Orders for the Summertown
Controlled parking Zone and Disabled Persons Parking Places Order.
With
regard to alternative arrangements for
residents of Dorchester Court and Marston Ferry Road Councillor Jean Fooks
(Local Member) who had been unable to attend this meeting had commented as
follows. She considered that spaces should be available for a 24 hour period as
many residents would not find it easy or convenient to have to move their cars
before 0800 or whenever the daytime tariff started. She could foresee problems if this
arrangement was available to all Summertown permit holders and felt that it
should be limited to only those residents of Dorchester Court and Marston Ferry
Road. She supported the remaining
changes.
Mr Tole
confirmed that the Area Committee would be considering the request for
Summertown CPZ permit holders to use Ferry Pool Road public car park and that
he would be discussing the detail of that arrangement with City officials.
Councillor
Hudspeth stressed the need for careful monitoring and supported review of any alternative parking arrangement
after 12 months.
RESOLVED:
(a) subject to finalising parking
arrangements with the City Council for the use by Summertown CPZ permit holders
of the car park off Ferry Pool Road the Head of Transport in consultation with
the Cabinet Member for Transport Implementation and the Cabinet Member for
Growth & Infrastructure be authorised to approve the proposed changes to
the Summertown CPZ and Disabled Persons Parking Places Order as advertised in
the Oxfordshire County Council (Summertown) (Controlled Parking Zone and
Various Restrictions) (Variation No 7*) Order 200*, and the Oxfordshire County
Council (Disabled Persons Parking Places) Oxford (Amendment No 7*) Order 200* and
described in the report TCD5;
(b) in the event that these
alternative arrangements were not agreed with the City Council the matter
affecting the parking arrangements for residents of Dorchester Court be referred
back to the Transport Decisions Committee for further consideration.
