The Chair welcomed speakers to address the meeting and responded to their points in turn.

The Chair highlighted the scheme as a good example of joint-up working between the Council and residents of Goring.

Officers commented that there would be a net increase in unrestricted parking in Glebe Ride. Officers noted that further schemes to develop solutions to residents parking in Goring were outside the scope of this decision, but that in the future, subject to funding conditions, the Council could work with local members and the parish council in this area.

The Chair questioned the implementation of double-yellow lines in Goring, following a decision at a previous meeting in December. Officers stated that they’d check with colleagues and developers to confirm this particular point.

The Chair noted that the scheme was designed to protect and enhance the amenity of residents.

Following a question from the Chair surrounding responses to the consultation and whether proposed changes would be counter-productive, officers stressed the need to carefully monitor schemes as undesired effects could possibly occur.

The Chair thanked all respondents to the consultation and to the officers for their work in producing a detailed report and was happy to agree to the recommendations.
