2.    If at the close of consultation, no objections are received to the proposals outlined, the scheme proceeds to full implementation.

3.    That the estimated cost of the scheme as set out in the report was £0.005m/£0.0005m depending on the agreed option, which would  be met by the Schemes Revenue budget (A26910).

The Committee considered a report that sought its approval on Moving Traffic Contravention.

The Committee following a debate RESOLVED to recommend to the Cabinet Member for Public Realm in consultation with the Leader of the Council that:

1.    the 3 existing closed circuit television (cctv) enforcement cameras at the locations outlined in the report be relocated to 3 recommended locations to be agreed as detailed in Appendix A.

                                   i.         URN102 Birkbeck Road Romford.

                                 ii.         URN107 Dagenham Road Norwood Avenue.

                                iii.         URN112 Mildmay Road Palm Road

2.    the 13 new sites be brought forward for enforcement of existing restrictions by closed circuit television cameras  as detailed on the plans in Appendix B

3.    It be noted that a further 6 sites originally considered for enforcement by CCTV would not be brought forward as they failed to meet the criteria for operation as set out in the report. 

4.    The Committee noted that:

a)    the estimated cost of the trial scheme implementations was £0.309m.

b)    that these types of measures were implemented for enforcement of existing restrictions only; and are expected to have no appreciable  bearing on existing traffic flows; which are unlikely to increase as a result of the process;

c)    that enforcement by the Council would only apply to Borough roads and not to roads on the Transport for London Road Network (TLRN), which are enforced by Transport for London (TfL).
