OBJECTIONS TO THE RE-ADVERTISED RESIDENTS’ PARKING PLACES
ORDER 2003
Consideration was given to the re-advertisement of the
Residents Parking Order. The Executive
had approved the Order at its meeting on 9 April 2003 but following advice
received from the Head of Legal and Democratic Services, the Order had been re-advertised
because insufficient detail had been given in the original notice. The
opportunity was also taken to include a part of Dover Street, Ryde into the
Order that had previously been omitted.
Members were informed that the
Order would be monitored and reviewed particularly in relation to visitor and
commercial parking. Details of the representations that had been received were
given. An amendment was proposed at the
meeting in relation to a number of parking spaces in Monkton Road, Ryde which
would remain available for short-term parking.
RESOLVED :
(i)
THAT
the Order be implemented as advertised with the exception of six spaces in
Monkton Street, Ryde, that were already in place subject to one hour limited
waiting, that would remain available for short-term parking.
(ii)
THAT
a specific delegation be given to the Head of Engineering Services and the
Portfolio Holder for Transport to make subsequent changes to the Order where
they were necessary to give the Order better effect

STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT OF CCTV AND FUNDING
The Portfolio Holder introduced the
report, which proposed the internal restructuring of the CCTV department in
order to provide clear management
accountability for development and delivery of the service. It was suggested that that the Crime
and Disorder Partnership was best placed to take on the “purchaser” role as
CCTV would then be managed within an overall crime and disorder context. All new
schemes would only be considered after a crime audit had been carried out,
where it could shown that CCTV was the most appropriate crime prevention tool
and that ongoing revenue funding could be met from sources outside the Council.
Members were advised that
additional funding would be required to meet the current shortfall of £30,700
and provision had been made in the revenue base budget, to meet this
shortfall. Members also considered
funding a further £10,200 for Sandown for which no provision had been made.
RESOLVED :
(i)
THAT
the purchaser / provider split, proposed Service Level agreement and CCTV
scheme evaluation criteria be implemented
(ii)
THAT
the partnership options and the feasibility of selling CCTV monitoring services
to the private sector be explored, with the possibility of reducing CCTV
running costs in the future
(iii)
THAT
the £30,700 funding shortfall be met from the provision identified in the
report
(iv)
THAT
the extra £10,200 for Sandown, ie a total of £40,900 be funded
