Following discussion on the local parking amendment for Underhill Road, Councillor Eckersley requested that a report on the policy for crossovers at junctions particularly as it resulted in lost parking opportunity.  He said he wanted to know if the council had any discretion in relation to crossovers that appeared near a person’s front garden or in an controlled parking zone.

 

Matt Hill, Public Realm Manager explained that the council had no clear policy on crossovers which required planning permission.  Matt said he would feed this request back to officers in his team.
