The Cabinet Member is RECOMMENDED to:

(a)           Approve the introduction of the following parking restrictions, as advertised – but to ask Officers to review the extent of the parking restrictions prior to the adoption of the roads:

                                 i.         new ‘No Waiting at Any Time’ (double yellow lines) parking restrictions on: Anniversary Avenue West, Chadwick Place, Circular Road East, Circular Road West, Graven Hill Road, Read Place, Roberts Drive, Westacott Road, and Wood Crescent,

                                ii.         new ‘Two hour, No return within 2 hours all days` diagonal parking bays on the northwest side of Graven Hill Road,

                               iii.         new ‘Disabled Persons Parking Places’ on the southeast & north side of Graven Hill Road.

(b)           Approve the introduction of a new 20mph speed limit zone within the whole development south of the A41 roundabout, as advertised.

(c)           Approve the introduction of a new ‘No Entry’ restriction on the small link road between Graven Hill Road & Roberts Drive, as advertised.

Recommendations approved.

The Chair introduced the item to the meeting.

Officers confirmed that this was a developer-promoted scheme and that the roads could expect to be adopted within the next 18 months.

Officers confirmed that the ‘no entry’ proposal was to discourage people from using the link road between Graven Hill Road and Roberts Drive, avoiding conflict with the cycleway.

The Chair thanked officers and agreed to the recommendations in the report.
