Decision of the Executive Member for City Strategy

RESOLVED: That the advice of the Advisory Panel be accepted and endorsed.

REASON: To facilitate parking for residents and their visitors as requested and to reduce congestion

Minutes:

Members received a report which advised Members of the receipt of a petition that requested the introduction of a residents parking scheme for Malton Avenue and Irwin Avenue.

Members were presented with two options for consideration:

A. Add this area to the list for investigation.

This option was in line with the current residents parking policy and the wishes of the petitioners; hence it was the recommended option.

B. Reject the request for inclusion in a residents parking scheme.

This was not the recommended option as there was considered to be strong support demonstrated for a residents parking scheme.

Officers reported that there were currently six streets on the waiting list and that it would be at least two years until this request was investigated. Members raised concerns about how long it took for resident parking requests to be investigated. Officers reported that they would look at how they could accelerate the investigation of these requests as part of the budget process to see what they could do if they had the resources.
