Report by Director Community Operations (Interim) (CMDE5).

The report presents responses received to statutory consultation to introduce further waiting restrictions on Cow Lane & Evenlode Drive and new waiting restrictions on Tyne Avenue, in Didcot put forward by the Local Member as a result of residents’ long-standing dissatisfaction with anti-social commuter parking on the Ladygrove housing estate.

The Cabinet Member for the Environment is RECOMMENDED to approve the proposed waiting restrictions at Cow Lane, Tyne Avenue and Evenlode Drive as advertised and as extended following the consultation.

Approved

The Cabinet Member for Environment considered (CMDE5) responses received to a consultation to introduce further waiting restrictions on Cow lane & Evenlode Drive and new restrictions on Tyne Avenue put forward by the local councillor to prevent anti-social commuter parking on the Ladygrove estate in Didcot.

Councillor Harris had emailed his comments in support of the proposals.  His email recognised the benefits of enforcement and the risk of displaced parking but on the whole felt it something worth trialling.

The Cabinet Member advised that enforcement depended on the District Council moving to Civil parking Enforcement.  Noting the proposal was being funded by the local councillor officer and the officer advice that there was some funding available to enable an extension to the restrictions on Tyne Avenue which would help address the objection from the Town Council and which could be carried out without further consultation the Cabinet Member having regard to the information set out in the report before her and the representations made to her at the meeting confirmed her decision as follows:

to approve waiting restrictions at Cow lane, Tyne Avenue and Evenlode Drive as advertised with an extension to the restriction on Tyne avenue as highlighted in paragraphs 8 and 9 of the report CMDE5.
