Note: This is an executive function for decision by the community council.

The meeting heard from residents of Barry Road. Councillors considered and discussed the information contained in the report.

RESOLVED:

1.  That the following local traffic and parking amendments, detailed in the appendices of the report, be approved for implementation, subject to the outcome of any necessary statutory consultation and procedures:

·  Village Way – to install new double yellow lines adjacent to the existing vehicle crossovers outside Nos. 3 and 4 to maintain access to off street parking and to improve intervisibility with vehicles on Village Way.

·  Ardbeg Road – to install double yellow lines adjacent to the new planned vehicle crossover dropped kerb outside No.19 to maintain access to off street parking and to improve intervisibility with vehicles on Ardbeg Road.

·  Upland Road – to provide a 4 hour destination disabled bay for the blue badge visitors to the shops.

2.  That the Barry Road local traffic and parking amendment (“Barry Road (B219) – to install double yellow lines adjacent to the new planned vehicle crossover dropped kerb outside No. 91 to maintain access to off street parking and to improve intervisibility with vehicles on Barry Road”), detailed in Appendix B of the report, be rejected, because while councillors are supportive of the request for a dropped kerb, the number of parking spaces lost in this proposal is excessive.

Note: Councillors pointed out that many dropped kerbs in Barry Road did not have double yellow lines, and asked officers to be more flexible about imposing a requirement for double yellow lines at dropped kerbs.
