RESOLVED:

1.  That community council gave its support to the recommendations

contained in the report subject to the following comment:

Councillor Peter John said that he and Councillor Sarah King had thought that residents in some roads off Champion Hill, including Arnold Avenue, would be keen to be included in the parking zone. However, the response to the consultation from residents in those roads had been low. Councillor John added that he was satisfied, after speaking to officers, that if the situation changed in future, it would not be difficult to extend the parking zone to include those areas.
