d)    New ‘No Waiting at Any Time’ restrictions (double yellow lines) on Trinity Road

The Chair welcomed everyone to the meeting and apologised for slight delay at the start of the meeting.

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

Officers noted that the scheme was a package of changes, but in specific areas of the CPZ, including the extension of operational hours for some bays, the removal of one bay and the installation of additional yellow lining.

The Chair noted the importance of striking a balance between road users, residents and pedestrians.

The Chair stated that the report highlighted how changes were brought forward due to some dangerous and obstructive parking, to ensure safety.

The Chair noted, as with every scheme, that the scheme would be monitored in practice.

The Chair thanked the speaker and officers for their contributions and approved the recommendations in the report.
