Minutes:
The report presented responses to the statutory consultation on the proposed parking controls.
The Chair invited the speakers to address the meeting in turn and responded to points raised.
Officers informed the Chair that the proposals had evolved over several years with input from the local community. Some compromises have had to be made and the proposals were a balance between parking and maintaining traffic flow through the high street. The scheme would be kept under review.
The Chair commented that the proposals had been developed following extensive surveys and public engagement by the Parish Council and there had been a good level of response from the statutory consultation. It was a scheme that had a lot of care and thought put into it and was in alignment with the County Council’s policies.
