Report by Director of Environment and Highways (CMDTM).

The Cabinet Member is RECOMMENDED to:

(a)           Approve the introduction of ‘No Waiting at Any Time’ (Double Yellow Lines) on sections of Audlett Drive, Jackman Close, Magnette Close, Penlon Place, and Quakers Court in Abingdon, as advertised.

(b)           Approve the amended proposals for Radley Road, from ‘No Waiting at Any Time’ (Double Yellow Lines) to instead introduce ‘No Waiting Monday to Saturday 8am-6pm’ (Single Yellow Lines).

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

Officers confirmed that concerns were raised through the formal consultation about vehicles parking down the Radley Road, leading to delays for bus services. Vehicles parking on the Radley Road presented risks to pedestrians and cyclists.

The justification for the inclusion of Saturday in the restrictions was because there was no material difference on other days of the week and Saturday. Officers commented that the original request for action came from the bus companies.

The Chair noted that all schemes were kept under review and asked officers to carefully monitor the changes.

The Chair thanked officers for their work, speakers for their contributions and agreed to the recommendations in the report.

RESOLVED to:

a) Approve the introduction of ‘No Waiting at Any Time’ (Double Yellow Lines) on sections of Audlett Drive, Jackman Close, Magnette Close, Penlon Place, and Quakers Court in Abingdon, as advertised.

b) Approve the amended proposals for Radley Road, from ‘No Waiting at Any Time’ (Double Yellow Lines) to instead introduce ‘No Waiting Monday to Saturday 8am-6pm’ (Single Yellow Lines).
