Report by Interim Corporate Director Communities (CMDE9).

A new car park for staff of Wallingford School on the west side of St Georges Road has been required as part of enabling works for a new £6m teaching block on the school site which will start as soon as the new car park can be used. No waiting at any time restrictions adjacent to the access of the car park onto St Georges Road have been identified as being required on road safety grounds to ensure that visibility for vehicles using the access is adequate.

The Cabinet Member for Environment is RECOMMENDED to approve the waiting restrictions at St Georges Road, Wallingford as advertised.

Approved

As part of enabling works for a new £6m teaching block on the school site a new car park was being proposed for staff of Wallingford School on the west side of St Georges Road and requiring no waiting at any time restrictions adjacent to the access of the car park onto St Georges Road to ensure adequate visibility for vehicles using the access.

Councillor Pete Sudbury did not consider there was a safety issue and that the site should be used outside school times.

Officers confirmed that there would be a visibility splay as with any other development and the provision of parking had been a condition of the permission.

The Cabinet Member for Environment acknowledged that out of school use would be within the gift of the school and so 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 the waiting restrictions at St Georges Road, Wallingford as advertised.
