TPC350 CUMBERLAND CLOSE, HORNCHURCH - PROPOSED RESIDENTS PARKING BAY pdf icon PDF 196 KB

Report attached

Minutes:

The report before the Committee detailed responses received to the advertised proposals to introduce a residents’ parking bay in Cumberland Close.

 

Following a request from residents to introduce a residents’ parking bay adjacent to nos. 8 – 14 Cumberland Close, proposals were agreed in principle by this Committee in August 2013.

 

The proposals were subsequently designed and publicly advertised to all those perceived to be affected by the proposals. The eighteen statutory bodies were also consulted and site notices were placed at the location.

 

At the close of consultation on Friday 14 March 2014, no responses were received to the formal consultation.

 

As there were no responses received to the proposals, officers considered that the scheme was well received and should be implemented as advertised.

 

During the general debate the committee were informed that the area is currently unrestricted and by implementing these controls would allocate additional parking for residents in Cumberland Avenue, Cumberland Close and Matlock Gardens.  The effects of the scheme would lead to displacement into unrestricted areas although Officers would monitor this for a period of six months following the implementation of these controls and take the appropriate action if required.

 

The Committee considered the report and RESOLVED:

 

·         To recommend to the Cabinet Member for Environment that the minor parking scheme to introduce a residents’ parking bay at the end of Cumberland Avenue, which would provide additional parking for residents only, be implemented as advertised

 

·         The effect of the scheme be monitored

 

·         That the estimated cost of this scheme as set out in the report was £800 and would be funded from the 2014/15 Minor Parking Schemes budget

TPC460

Various

Following a review of the School Keep Clear parking restrictions around all of the infant and junior schools in the borough a large number of the lengths of restriction on the existing TMOs are not compliant with the TRSGD.  Also the hours of restriction should be 8.00am - 5.00pm.  Additionally there are a number of schools where the lengths on the ground do not match the TMO or the lines have been installed incorrectly.  These need the TMOs amended and in some cases the lines burnt off and re-painted. All of the non-compliant restrictions need to legally be re-advertised in order for them to be enforceable.
