24/07/2019 - Determination of Statutory Objections relating to Parking Control Measures in Parks

1.  That:

 

·  The 388 representations and objections (Appendix A of the report) received in response to the proposed traffic management orders (TMO) be noted.

 

·  Officers be instructed to make the TMO in accordance with the statutory process to implement parking control measure in park car parks that will apply at all times during park opening hours, except in Belair Park which will be deferred until further notice.  Maps of areas are shown in Appendix D of the report.

 

·  Officers be instructed that the order should be made with an exception for Emergency ‘A’ permit holders.

 

·  Officers be instructed to write to each person who made representations and to inform them of the council’s decision.

 

·  Officers be instructed to undertake a full review 12 months after implementation as set out in paragraph 34 of the report.

 

·  Officers be instructed to increase cycle parking within the affected parks by 50% within 12 months to encourage travel to parks by bicycle. Dulwich Park will be the first location to receive extra bicycle parking provision, which will be installed before any car parking charges are applied.  Southwark currently has 24 sites (112 stands) allocated to cycle parking in parks with car parks.
