Report by Corporate Director Environment & Place (CMDHM11).
The report presents responses received to a statutory consultation to introduce no waiting at any time restrictions on Mansfield Road in place of existing Pay and Display parking places adjacent to an existing vehicle access due to an increase in the use of the access as a result of approved development.
Decision:
Deferred
Minutes:
The Cabinet Member for Highway Management considered (CMDHM11) responses received to a statutory consultation to introduce no waiting at any time restrictions on Mansfield Road in place of existing Pay and Display parking places adjacent to an existing vehicle access due to an increase in the use of the access as a result of approved development.
The Cabinet Member advised that having looked at this issue very carefully he felt the proposal was not in keeping with pedestrian priority. Additionally there was no accident history.
Officers acknowledged the point regarding pedestrian priority but advised strongly that the proposals merited support on safety grounds and although there was no accident history there were other junctions in the vicinity on what was a busy cycle route.
The Cabinet Member for Highway Management believed that the question of pedestrian priority merited further consideration and so having regard to the representations made to him at the meeting including the advice of officers regarding safety issues confirmed his decision as follows:
to defer for further consideration proposed amendments to waiting restrictions and pay and displayparking places as advertised at Mansfield Road.
