Report by Director for Infrastructure Delivery (CMDE6).

The report presents objections and comments received in the course of a statutory consultation on proposals to introduce waiting restrictions in various roads in the Cattlemarket and Waterloo Drive areas in Grimsbury, Banbury        following requests through the local Member for action to address commuter parking concerns in parts of the Cattlemarket estate and also in the Waterloo Drive area. 

The Cabinet Member for the Environment is RECOMMENDED to:

(a)             approve implementation of proposals for parking restrictions in the Cattlemarket and Waterloo Drive areas as advertised;

(b)             not approve the proposals for additional parking restrictions in Merton Street.

Approved

Approved

The Cabinet Member for Environment considered (CMDE6) objections and comments received in the course of a statutory consultation on proposals to introduce waiting restrictions in various roads in the Cattlemarket and Waterloo Drive areas in Grimsbury, Banbury following requests through the local Member for action to address commuter parking concerns in parts of the Cattlemarket estate and also the Waterloo Drive area.

Councillor Mike Beal welcomed the proposals which had been a long time in coming. His tenure as a county councillor was coming to an end so enforcement would be a matter for his successor.

Mr Tole confirmed that in the absence of a specific permit scheme this offered the best compromise and should address the more severe parking issues whilst improving pedestrian movement. It was sensible not to proceed with proposals for Merton Street before gauging the effects of these proposals.

Noting the support of the local member and having regard to the arguments and options set out in the report before him along with the representations made to him at the meeting  the Cabinet Member for Environment confirmed his decision as follows:

(a)             approve implementation of proposals for parking restrictions in the Cattlemarket and Waterloo Drive areas as advertised;

(b)             not approve the proposals for additional parking restrictions in Merton Street.
