Report by the Interim Director for Community Operations (CMDE11).
The report presents responses received to a statutory consultation to introduce waiting restrictions at Kirby Place and Don Bosco Close, Oxford put forward as a result of concerns received from residents and City Council members about parked vehicles obstructing the relatively narrow sections of both Kirby Place and Don Bosco Close. This is a particular problem with larger service vehicles particularly in Kirby Place where the refuse vehicle is often prevented from accessing the road.
Decision:
Approved
Minutes:
The Cabinet member for Environment considered (CMDE11) responses received to a statutory consultation to introduce waiting restrictions at Kirby Place and Don Bosco Close, Oxford put forward as a result of concerns received from residents and City Council members about parked vehicles obstructing the relatively narrow sections of both Kirby Place and Don Bosco Close particularly larger service vehicles chiefly Kirby Place where the refuse vehicle was often prevented from accessing the road.
City Councillor Saj Malik thanked city & county officers for their work in processing this and meeting me on the site more than once and on behalf of local residents urged the Cabinet Member to approve the report. The double yellow lines were very important for public safety and not just to alleviate any nuisance for residents whose driveways were frequently blocked especially those on emergency call outs. There were also problems for waste collection lorries accessing Kirby place because of parking requiring city refuse staff to drag and every single bin to Temple road and then return them. Most importantly there could be access problems for emergency service vehicles. Approving the scheme will benefit all the above and residents.
County Councillor John Sanders supported the proposal which would help resolve issues pending a CPZ in the area.
The Cabinet Member noted the objections but considered the scheme would benefit residents and alleviate concerns regarding access for emergency vehicles. Therefore, having regard tom the information in the report and the representations made to her at the meeting she confirmed her decision as follows:
