Report by Deputy Director for Environment & Economy – Commercial & Delivery (CMDE7).

Three new lengths of ‘no waiting at any time’ restrictions along part of Church Road in Wheatley are being proposed in response to traffic and road safety concerns raised by Whatley Parish Council and local residents regarding the central part of Church Road. A scheme has been developed to introduce some additional lengths of parking restriction designed to help traffic, including buses,  move more freely and the report presents objections received in the course of a statutory consultation.

The Cabinet Member for the Environment is RECOMMENDED to approvethe implementation of proposal as advertised.

Agreed

In response to traffic and road safety concerns raised by Wheatley Parish Council and local residents regarding the central part of Church Road a scheme had been developed to introduce some additional lengths of parking restrictions designed to help traffic, including buses,  move more freely.  The Cabinet Member for Environment considered (CMDE7) a report setting out objections received to a statutory consultation on the introduction of three new lengths of ‘no waiting at any time’ restrictions along part of Church Road, Wheatley. 

Mr Tole confirmed there had been a number of objections but only one from a resident of Church Road itself. The scheme had been promoted by the parish council with the support of the local member who had recognised that whilst it could cause some problems for some individuals in Church Road traffic issues were now so bad something needed to be done.

The Cabinet Member having visited the site appreciated the potential for problems regarding safe traffic movement and he was happy to support the initiative put forward by the parish council.

Noting the support of the local member for the proposals, the representations made to him at the meeting and having regard to the information set out in the report the Cabinet Member for Environment confirmed his decision as follows:

to approveimplementation of the proposal as advertised.
