Decision details

Purpose of Report: To report on the consultation and road safety audit, and seek approval to advertise the Traffic Regulation Order for changes to parking. If no objections are received, seek approval to implement the measures.

The Executive Member is asked to approve the proposals in principle and authorise the advertise of the Traffic Regulation Order. If objections are received, the scheme will be reported back to Executive Member for a decision.

This report has been deferred from the 11 February meeting to the 7 April meeting as, after receiving additional information in relation to the proposed resident parking element of the scheme, officers feel that they need to extend the consultation to gain a more appropriate response to the measures, therefore they are unable to produce a report in time for the February meeting.

To allow the Heslington Neighbourhood Plan results to meet the statutory timeframe, the Executive Member for Transport and Planning Decision Session has been moved from 8 April to 14 April 2016.

Resolved:           That the Executive Member approves:

(a)     The progression of the scheme proposed in Annex F, with the exception of the parking bays fronting150 and 154 Holgate Road to allow Officers to undertake further discussions with the business owners/occupiers regarding the proposals and report back to a future Decision Session. 

(b)     The advertisement of the necessary Traffic Regulation Orders and implementation of the scheme if no substantive objections are received.

Reason:                To enhance road safety for cyclists by providing more continuity of the cycle lanes on Holgate Road, whilst maintaining good parking provision for local residents.
