The report presented responses to a statutory consultation on a proposal to introduce new and amend existing ‘No Waiting at Any Time’ restrictions on parts of Crowell Road and Rahere Road and to remove an existing 2-hour parking place for non-permit holders in Crowell Road.

The Chair invited the speakers in turn to address the meeting and responded to points raised.

The Chair indicated his gratitude for the responses in the consultation and noted that the majority of respondents to the consultation objected to the proposals.

The Chair noted issues were raised regarding dropping-off and loading on double yellow lines. The Chair referred to the answer he gave in the previous item regarding dropping-off on double yellow lines.

The Chair referenced partial support from respondents in terms of this scheme not going far enough and stated that, whilst outside of the scope of this particular proposal, if there was a case, it would be heard.
