The report covered the formal consultation stage of the parking restriction proposals contained in Phase 15 of the Parking Action Plan and sought approval to implement the changes.

Following the meeting of the Joint Transportation Board in March 2025, investigations into proposed changes were undertaken at 30 sites across the Borough.  The proposals were then reported back to the Joint Transportation Board in June 2025, where it was decided that 16 locations should proceed to formal consultation and invitation of objections.  A list of all the locations, the issues raised and a summary for each was attached at Annex 1.  A location summary and a more detailed response rate, analysis and recommendation was attached at Annex 2.

The view of local members were sought and where appropriate and/or practical, these would be reflected in the final proposals.

Following consideration by the Joint Transportation Board, the Cabinet Member for Finance, Waste and Technical Services resolved that:

(1)        the recommendation for Ph 15-01, 15-14, 15-21 and 15-22 for Phase 15, as set out in Annex 1 to the report, be adopted and where appropriate the proposals be implemented; and

(2)        the views of local members having been sought; the following recommendations be adopted:

(i)          Ph 15-03, 15-06, 15-08, 15-10 and 15-15, be abandoned;

(ii)         Ph 15-07, 15-09, 15-18, 15-24, 15-27, 15-29 to 15-30, be taken forward; and
