Decision of the Executive Leader for City Strategy

Members considered a report which brought to their attention the receipt of objections to proposed changes to the waiting restrictions on Heworth Green and sought approval to overturn the objections and implement the restrictions.

Officers updated that comments had been received from Councillors Potter, B Watson and D’Agorne. These were circulated at the meeting and were as follows:

·        There is very little parking in the area and displaced parking already occurs in several places

·        The doctor’s surgery and children’s day nursery will experience problems if these changes are implemented

·        Local amenities will experience a loss of use

·        There is a need to ensure that local people are not disadvantaged and parking issues for residents and businesses are considered as part of any scheme

Members were presented with the following options:

Option A                    uphold the objections and take no action.

Option B                   Implement a reduced set of restrictions than those advertised.

Option C                   Implement the restrictions as advertised.
