ST HELENS COURT PARKING AND HOUSING ENFORCEMENT SCHEME OBJECTIONS pdf icon PDF 697 KB

Report attached.

Minutes:

The report before the Committee sought agreement following on from approval to commence with the formal advertising of scheme‘H1’ Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) for both resident permit holders only and shared use paid for parking / resident permit holders only bays, which would be operational on Monday to Saturday between 08:00 hours and 18:30 hours, on housing land in St Helens Court Rainham.

 

The Committee considered the report and following a debate RESOLVED to recommend to the Cabinet Members for Environment and Housing in consultation with the Leader of the Council that:

 

1.             Agreed the recommendations made to overrule the objections received during the statutory consultation on the introduction of a residents parking scheme on housing land in St Helens Court Rainham.

 

2.             Commence with the implementation of a residents parking scheme which would see the introduction of ‘H1’ Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) for ‘for both resident permit holders only and shared use paid for parking / resident permit holders only bays operational on Monday to Saturday between 08:00 hours and 18:30 hours, on housing land in St Helens Court Rainham; as detailed on the plan in appendix A.

 

3.             Noted that the estimated cost of the fully implemented proposals, including all physical measures and advertising costs was £0.022m and this would be met from the cost code C30010.

 

4.             Noted that due to budget constraints Housing officers have confirmed the proposed installation of a pay & display machine with a cashless payment option at the cost of £3,500 would not be a viable option. This would mean that if approved:

 

                                          I.         Highways would need to make provision for a machine to be installed on Housing land from their Highways Improvement Programme (HIP) budget; and

 

                                        II.         Highways would retain the revenue made from this machine up to the value of £3,500 and thereafter all revenue from this machine will be split with housing. However, this would also mean that Highways would be responsible for any maintenance costs.

 

If agreed the land will remain as Housing land, with a traffic management order in place for enforcement purposes. The responsibility of maintenance would be shared between Housing and Parking which would be detailed in a Service Level Agreement (SLA).

 

if agreed implementation of the scheme would not be progressed until the SLA between the Housing Authority and Highways Authority has been agreed.

 

The Committee also proposed that a review of the scheme be carried after 6 months of implementation.
