Agenda item

Brunswick Park TRA to present a deputation about re-consulting on the hours of operation (but not removal) of the East Camberwell CPZ.

RESOLVED:

That the deputation from Patricia Ladly on behalf of the Brunswick Park Tenants and Residents Association (BPTRA) regarding the East Camberwell controlled parking zone (CPZ) be heard.

Patricia Ladly said that the CPZ had been set up in 2009 and that residents had been told that a public consultation would take place. The meeting heard that the consultation did not take place and the CPZ was made permanent in 2010.

Members of the BPTRA were particularly concerned about the hours of operation of the CPZ of 8.30am – 6.30pm and they felt that it was too restrictive for the residential area.

A resident added that there was a flaw within the CPZ area. The garages on Elmington Road were rented out but there were no yellow lines or permits in operation. It meant that those who used the garages were often blocked in by double parked vehicles.

The chair added that members had received representations from residents stating that they were in support of the CPZ generally and that it was only a change in the hours of operation that would be part of any council consultation.

RESOLVED:

1.  That the cabinet member for transport, environment and recycling be asked to consider the deputation and re-consult on the East Camberwell CPZ in 2014/15 , subject to the funds being available.

2.  That the Deputy leader of the council and cabinet member for housing management and officers be asked to look into the issue of restricted access to the Elmington Road garages, partly due to vehicles parking without permits. That an update on this be brought to the next Camberwell Community Council in February 2014.

The chair thanked the members of the deputation for attending.
