Members considered a report which was in response to the receipt of a petition that requested the introduction of a residents parking scheme for Holgate Bridge Gardens. The petition had been signed by 11 people from the 12 properties in the street. A plan attached as Annex B to the report showed the area of the scheme that had been requested. If taken forward this would be a new zone rather than an extension to any of the existing zones in the area.

The report presented three options :

a)                 Add this area to the list for investigation;

b)                 Reject the request for inclusion in a residents parking scheme;

c)                  Add this area to the list for investigation, and as an interim measure introduce up to 40 metres of double yellow lines in the first half of the street to alleviate access problems.
