Report by Director for Infrastructure Delivery (CMDE5).

The report presents responses received to a statutory consultation on amendments to waiting restrictions and the relevant Traffic Regulation Order in the above roads. The proposals in respect of Bickerton and Latimer Road   comprise the updating of the schedules in the order to better reflect the current situation, with no changes being made on the ground.  On Stapleton Road the schedules are similarly amended, except that in the vicinity of house Nos. 19, 25 and 60 Stapleton Road double yellow lines are proposed instead of informal access protection markings to better prevent obstruction to their driveways, at the request of residents.

The Cabinet Member for the Environment is RECOMMENDED to approve the proposals to amend waiting restrictions and the relevant Traffic Regulation Order in Bickerton, Latimer and Stapleton Roads as advertised and amended as described in the report CMDE5.

Approved

The Cabinet Member for Environment considered CMDE5 responses received to a statutory consultation on amendments to waiting restrictions and the relevant Traffic Regulation Order in respect of Bickerton and Latimer Roads. The proposals for those 2 roads comprised the updating of current schedules in order to better reflect the current situation and did not require changes being made on the ground.  With regard to Stapleton Road the schedules were being similarly amended, except that in the vicinity of house Nos. 19, 25 and 60 Stapleton Road double yellow lines were being proposed instead of informal access protection markings at the request of residents to better prevent obstruction to their respective driveways,

Councillor Roz Smith appreciated the time officers had spent on this but as the CPZ had been put in some time ago a wholesale review was required and she urged that that should be done as soon as possible.

Councillor sanders endorsed those comments pointing out that the CPZ had been imposed prior to Oxford United moving away from the old Manor Road football ground. There were also issues regarding enforcement.

Mr Tole confirmed the age of the CPZ and that officers with City colleagues were currently looking at CPZs in the city in order to address historical anomalies and achieve greater consistency.

The Cabinet Member for Environment confirmed that she was aware of the work being undertaken on CPZs and having regard to the information set out in the report and the representations made to her at the meeting confirmed her decision as follows:

to approve the proposals to amend waiting restrictions and the relevant Traffic Regulation Order in Bickerton, Latimer and Stapleton Roadsas advertised and amended as described in the report CMDE5.
