The Cabinet Member for Transport Management is RECOMMENDED to approve the following:

a)    the introduction of new & amendment of existing ‘No Waiting at Any Time’ (double yellow lines) parking prohibitions on the following roads: Beckdale Close, Wansbeck Drive, Brashfield Road, Bunyan Road, Wordsworth Close, Bucknell Road, Hudson Street, Cemetery Road, Arkwright Road, Churchill Road, Cranesbill Drive, Graham Road, Medina Gardens, Tay Gardens, Victoria Road, and Victoria Court as advertised,

b)    proceed with amended ‘No Waiting at Any Time’ (double yellow lines) parking prohibitions on Browning Drive, and

c)    not proceed with the proposed ‘No Waiting at Any Time’ (double yellow lines) parking prohibitions for Kipling Close.

Recommendations agreed.

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

The Chair addressed each individual road with proposed parking restrictions, with Browning Drive and Cranesbill Drive having more substantial areas of concern.

The Chair noted that the schemes are kept under review and residents were strongly encouraged to get in touch with their concerns.

Officers made the point that knock-on effects from the schemes are monitored.

It was stated that the responses to the section of the report on Browning Drive were written to an earlier proposal of the scheme, with significant changes being made afterwards. Officers stated that the measurements included in the agenda show a drastic reduction in the size of the proposals.

The Chair agreed with officer suggestions that a site visit to Cranesbill Drive with the local County Councillor would be beneficial in understanding any issues more thoroughly.

The Chair thanked officers for their work on the report and thanked speakers on this item.

The Chair agreed to the recommendations in the report as amended.

RESOLVED to:

a) Agree the introduction of new & amendment of existing ‘No Waiting at Any Time’ (double yellow lines) parking prohibitions on the following roads: Beckdale Close, Wansbeck Drive, Brashfield Road, Bunyan Road, Wordsworth Close, with the exception of Bucknell Road, where officers should explore the issue of parking in Stoneburge Crescent, Hudson Street, Cemetery Road, Arkwright Road, with the exception of Churchill Road, where there should be a 6- month review following implementation, and with the exception of Cranesbill Drive, where officers should explore informal markings and review proposals for ‘No Waiting At Any Time’ lines (double yellow lines) 6 months after implementation or at their discretion, Graham Road, Medina Gardens, Tay Gardens, Victoria Road, and Victoria Court.

b) Proceed with amended ‘No Waiting at Any Time’ (double yellow lines) parking prohibitions on Browning Drive, and
