The report before Members outlined the responses received to the formal consultation to the proposals to introduce Pay & Display parking bays in Eastern Road, fronting St James’s House and the Romford and District Synagogue.

The report informed the Committee that the proposals were put forward to ensure parking provisions was available for local businesses and organizations, while preventing long term parking whilst ensuring a turnover of parking spaces. It was generally considered that the provision of Pay & Display parking bays was user friendly and accessible to the public.

Members noted that at the close of the public consultation on the 29 April 2016, two responses outlined in the reported were both partly in favour of the scheme.

In Officers’ view the proposal put forward had identified and assessed the potential negative impact that the parking scheme poses to residents and businesses, and recommends to the Committee that all of the proposals be implemented as advertised.

A Member sought clarification on the views of the synagogue to the proposed scheme on security grounds. In response the Committee was informed that the synagogue was in support of the scheme as proposed.

It was also mentioned that the bays could be suspended on a day to day basis as may be required.
