Recommendations agreed.

The Chair invited the speakers to address the meeting and responded to their points.

The Chair alluded to the divided responses concerned about loss of parking against the amenities for cyclists.

Officers noted that the areas with proposed double yellow-lines were the areas with the biggest issue of motorists parking in cycle lanes.

The Chair made reference to the fact that the local County Councillor supported the proposals.

It was pointed out by the Chair that these proposals were a good example of keeping schemes under review.
