This report provides details of a recent ballot on proposals for Lumley Road and St Luke’s Grove and of objections raised to the recent advertisement of a residents’ priority parking scheme for Lumley Road and St Luke’s Grove, Clifton.

Resolved: That option 4 be approved: to overrule the objections and approve implementation of a full time Community Priority Residents Parking scheme.

Reason:     To provide a managed residents parking scheme supported by the majority of local residents to minimise the likelihood of obstruction to two-way traffic flow in Lumley Road and St Luke’s Grove, the said roads currently being adversely affected by indiscriminate/obstructive parking, thereby improving safety and improving the local community parking amenity.

·        Option 4: Overrule the objections and approve implementation of a full time Community Priority Residents Parking scheme.
