Return to Items for DecisionDelegated Decisions by Cabinet Member for Transport – 14 February 2008
Statement of Decision
West Oxford Controlled Parking Zone – 2007/08 Review
Present:
Also in attendance:
Documentation considered:
A copy is attached to the signed copy of this decision.
Summary of representations in person
Expressing concern that representations by some residents appeared to have been misinterpreted in the report Dr Preston referred to the negative effect of the proposals on properties at 42 – 46 Mill Street and to problems of large vehicles having to reverse the whole length of Mill street into Botley Road. She asked that proposals for the south end of Mill Street be revised.
Mr Axtell confirmed that the scheme had been designed to take into account the movement of hgvs but conceded that there could be problems with larger vehicles in Mill Street. However, he expected advance signing of alternative routes would largely reduce those problems and that an acceptable balance had been reached between parking arrangements and space for vehicles to manouvere.
Cabinet Member’s Comments
The Cabinet Member recognised the importance of signing and on balance was satisfied with the proposals as set out in the report. However he asked that the situation be monitored and reviewed after 12 months.
