Consideration of recommendations to the Cabinet from the Joint Transportation Board of 13 March 2017.

The Cabinet resolved that:

The recommendations of the Joint Transportation Board be approved as follows:

(1)             the objection to the extension of the parking restriction within Cage Green Road, Tonbridge, be set aside and the restrictions, as advertised, be introduced;

(2)             in light of the level of response from residents and the potential for the resident of No 3 Offham Road to change their entrance to ease the access issues, the proposal to shorten the parking bays in respect of Offham Road, West Malling be abandoned and the existing on-street parking and yellow line restrictions be retained;

(3)             the objections to the revised proposal in respect of Norman Road, West Malling be set aside and the restrictions, as advertised, be introduced; and

(4)             the proposed changes to the draft Amendment 13 to the Borough Council’s On-Street Traffic Regulation Order be made and the Order be sealed.

Decision Notice D170033CAB

The report of the Director of Street Scene, Leisure and Technical Services set out details of a number of proposed minor alterations to parking restrictions recently introduced as part of Phase 8 of the Parking Action Plan and the West Malling Parking Review.  Particular reference was made to the need to revise the previously agreed restrictions between No 75 Norman Road and Alma Road due to the road width being narrower than shown on the Ordnance Survey record.  The Board noted that formal consultation on the changes in Cage Green Road, Tonbridge and at Offham Road and Norman Road, West Malling had been undertaken between 3rd and 26th February 2017 and details of the responses received were set out in the report.

RECOMMENDED:  That

(1)          the objection to the extension of the parking restriction within Cage Green Road, Tonbridge, be set aside and the restrictions, as advertised, be introduced;

(2)          in light of the level of response from residents and the potential for the resident of No 3 Offham Road to change their entrance to ease the access issues, the proposal to shorten the parking bays in respect of Offham Road, West Malling be abandoned and the existing on-street parking and yellow line restrictions be retained;

(3)          the objections to the revised proposal in respect of Norman Road, West Malling be set aside and the restrictions, as advertised, be introduced; and

(4)          the proposed changes to the draft Amendment 13 to the Borough Council’s On-Street Traffic Regulation Order be made and the Order be sealed.
