Decision details

Purpose of Report: To report to the Executive Member on the results of the TRO (Traffic Regulation Order) advertisement and further consultation for a scheme aiming to introduce improved cycle facilities and to rationalise the existing on-street parking along Holgate Road.

The Executive Member is asked to give approval to implement the measures.

Resolved: (i) That the objections to the TRO be noted, but the making of the TRO (subject to a 90 minute non-permit holder exception to the Community bay) be approved. It is further recommended that the implementation of the proposals as shown in Annex A is authorised (with the exception of the parking proposals outside numbers 150-154).

                (ii) That the principle to the creation of a parking area in Chancery Rise (as shown in Annex D) along with the provision of a dropped kerb to facilitate vehicle access to the forecourt area at 150 Holgate Road (part of the scheme shown in Annex C) be approved. Linked to this, the advertisement of a TRO covering the removal of the existing restrictions on the affected part of Chancery Rise, along with the introduction of “no waiting at any time” restrictions to replace the existing on-road parking provision adjacent to 150-154 Holgate Road be authorised.

(iii) That authority be delegated to the Director of City and Environmental Services to decide, following consultation with fellow Officers, about non-residential permit holders parking provision for 30 minutes in the parking space now approved for residential parking.

Reason:  To enhance road safety by providing more continuity of the cycle lanes whilst maintaining good parking provision for local resident and businesses.
