Decision details

Consider the consultation results and make a decision whether to proceed to statutory consultation

1.  That it be approved that the extension of Controlled Parking Zone (“CPZ”) ‘B’ into the following roads: Sturdy Road, Ellery Street, Old James Street, Whorlton Road and partially into Scylla Road, covering a smaller area than proposed in public consultation, in response to resident feedback. This proposal is subject to the outcome of any necessary statutory procedures. The remaining roads consulted as part of this consultation will not be part of a controlled parking zone. The majority of residents living on the roads that are included in the new smaller zone were supportive of a CPZ on their road (53%).  Otherwise, given the overall majority who didn’t want a CPZ, the revised extension, which significantly reduces the size of the proposed CPZ coverage, responds to the feedback of the majority of residents.  Full details can be found in Appendix A as well as the boundary of the proposed CPZ extension.

2.  That it be noted that the operational hours of the proposed CPZ extension will be in line with the existing zone: Mon-Sat 8.30am to 6.30pm.

3.  That it be noted that a further report will be brought to the Cabinet Member should there be any valid statutory objections to the traffic order required to implement the proposed CPZ extension.

4.  That it be approved that the position and type of parking bays and restrictions for the proposed CPZ extension as shown in the outline design save for any amendments which may be required at the implementation stage, which may be determined by officers (Appendix B).

5.  That it be noted that in addition to the controlled parking zone proposed as part of this report, officers will assess and propose double yellow line waiting restrictions across the entire consulted area where required for safety reasons.
