In response to long-standing requests from residents of the Hale Village area for measures to be introduced to control long-stay, on-street daytime parking in the area by non-residents, a set of proposals, comprising permit parking and associated waiting and loading restrictions, was developed and formally advertised during 2016, attracting 96 objections.

Having carefully considered each of the objections, certain amendments to the proposals were made and a further public consultation undertaken in April 2017, which resulted in 25 objections to the proposals.

The Executive Member was requested to consider the objections received to the latest consultation.

1.          That the objections be noted.

2.          That, after careful consideration of the objections, authorisation be    given to make the Traffic Regulation Order as advertised and detailed in Schedules 1, 2 and 3 to the report and to introduce the Order in whole or in part, as soon as is practicable.

3.          That the objectors be informed of the decision taken.

To enable the necessary parking restrictions to be introduced and enforced, to enhance resident amenity, in the interests of highway safety and to discourage obstruction of the highway.

Leaving out the proposed restrictions to which objections have been raised would be detrimental to resident amenity, highway safety and would also lead to regular obstruction for other road users.

None.
