Resolved:

                      i.         No further action is taken in relation to the advertised resident’s priority parking scheme on East Parade. In addition it is recommended that approval be given to implement the advertised No Waiting Restrictions (double yellow lines) on East Parade at the entrance to Parade Court only. The No Waiting restrictions to be implemented are annotated in Annex A, along with the advertised proposed residents parking scheme in Annex B.

Reason:     To acknowledge residents objections and comments received from both, within the advertised affected area of East Parade and nearby adjoining streets, who would all be disadvantaged by the proposals.

The no waiting restrictions either side of Parade Court provide the necessary junction protection for safety when vehicles are entering and exiting the junction and maintain a visibility splay for drivers vision of oncoming vehicles.

The proposed extension of the R30 residents priority parking scheme was discussed and it was confirmed that following the nearby streets voting against extending the scheme, lots of residents of East Parade had raised objections to being included within the scheme. The Executive Member agreed to take no further action as adding one street would not address commuter parking in the area. He did support however, the restrictions on the junction to address safety concerns. Wider issues raised in public participation such as speeding issues the Executive Member recommended residents discuss these issues with Ward Councillors.
