Decision details

Purpose of Report: To present the petition from residents of Sails Drive estate whilst being mindful of extraneous surveys associated with University department/expansion plan.

The Cabinet Member is asked to review the existing situation and circumstances and provide a judgement on the way forward.

This report has been slipped to the public decision scheduled for 16 January 2014 meeting as officers are awaiting the outcome of the University of York surveys before taking this report forward.

Resolved:           That the Cabinet Member:

Agreed Option A on the basis that if any further requests for residents parking are made then the situation will be reviewed.

Reason:              There does not appear to be a substantial problem with parking in the area and as the area is highly residential it is likely that many of the vehicles noted in the area are associated with nearby premises or with the short-term work undertaken by contractors. The surveys have determined that an insufficient number of vehicles are related to University of York, and so this situation will not be resolved with the introduction of a Residents Parking scheme. Furthermore, as the surveys have not revealed a problem, City of York Council should not encourage action to be taken.
