Decision Maker: Delegated Decisions by Cabinet Member for Transport Management
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Following informal consultation with
residents, proposals have been developed for the introduction of
permit parking bays and permit area for a residents parking
scheme
The Chair introduced the item to the meeting.
The Chair noted that there were two rounds of consultation, which showed strong support for the double yellow lines proposals.
Officers clarified that repeated patterns were seen during informal consultations of support for schemes but did not translate through to formal consultation. Officers suggested that it could be made clearer that all comments needed to be made at the public consultation stage too.
The Chair noted the concerns raised regarding parking capacity and asked officers to ensure these issues be monitored post-implementation, if the decision was made to approve the recommendations.
The Chair thanked officers and agreed to the recommendations in the report.
RESOLVED to:
a) Approve the proposed ‘Residents permit holders parking only’ (at all times) area on the entire length of Gilkes Yard, as advertised.
b) Approve the proposed ‘Residents permit holders parking only’ (at all times) parking bays on Broughton Road, as advertised.
c) Approve the proposed 'No Waiting at Any Time' restriction (Double yellow lines) on Broughton Road, as advertised.
d) Approve the amended proposal to include Nos.32 & 34 Broughton Road within the permit eligibility area.
