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.
