06/03/2024 - Parking Action Plan - Phase 14

(Report of Director of Street Scene, Leisure and Technical Services)

 

The report covered the formal consultation stage of the parking restriction proposals contained in Phase 14 of the Parking Action Plan and sought approval to implement the changes.

 

Following the meeting of the Joint Transportation Board in June 2023, investigations into proposed changes were undertaken at 32 sites across the Borough.  The proposals were then reported back to the Joint Transportation Board in September 2023, where it was decided that 17 locations should proceed to formal consultation and invitation of objections.  A list of all the locations, the issues raised and a recommendation 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 views 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 Transformation and Infrastructure resolved that: 

 

(1)    the recommendations in respect of Ph 14-01 to 14-06, 14-08, 14-10 to 14-31 for Phase 14, 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 14-07 (Cottenham Close, East Malling) the proposal be amended to reduce the proposed extended double yellow lines, so as to start on both sides from the rear boundary of No. 1 Cottenham Close;

 

(ii)     Ph 14-09 (Branbridges Industrial Estate (south of roundabout), East Peckham) the proposals be abandoned; and

 

(iii)    Ph14-32 (West Street, Wrotham) the proposal be taken forward.
