4. Consideration Of Representations Received To The Advertised R70 Extended Residents Priority Parking Area To Include Frances Street, Ambrose Street, Holly Terrace, Carey Street And Wenlock Terrace
Resolved:
i. Approved the implementation of the extension to the previously approved R70 residents parking scheme to include Frances Street, Ambrose Street, Holly Terrace, Carey Street and Wenlock Terrace. This would extend the previously approved scheme boundary which currently includes Kilburn Road, Alma Terrace and Alma Grove. The extension would be implemented as advertised which would be operational under entry zone signs enforceable 24hours a day 7 days a week. Details outlined in Option One with the recommended R70 extended boundary plan provided as Annex G.
ii. Approved the implementation of the advertised limited waiting bays located on Carey Street, these are to be operational between 8am – 5pm each day providing unrestricted parking for a maximum of 90 minutes, no return within 60 minutes. A residents parking permit would be required outside of the specified hours. Proposals shown in C1.
Reason: To provide the improved parking provision for residents of the whole area, in line with the comments received when advertising a reduced area for R70 and the limited objections submitted to the advertised proposals to extend the scheme to include the wider area.
