210. OBJECTIONS TO THE RESIDENTS’ PARKING PLACES ORDER 2003
The Portfolio Holder for Transport outlined the main
provisions of the draft Order that had been advertised following statutory
consultation. The revised policy had been developed following consideration by the Car
Park Task Group, written and verbal representations from existing permit
holders and those who wished to have schemes introduced in their areas. Representations, which had been received
during the current statutory consultation period had been summarised in the
appendix to the report, and consultations carried out on previous Residents’
Parking Orders had also been taken into account. The Portfolio Holder distributed a survey showing the daytime use
of residents parking areas conducted on the previous two days.
The revised policy intended to
provide a more flexible approach to parking distribution, which members
supported, and they were satisfied that, if the policy was kept under review,
residents in areas of high demand would be given priority without it having a
negative impact on short term users.
RESOLVED
(i)
THAT
the Order be introduced as
advertised and that in implementing the Order, regard would be given on a
scheme by scheme basis, to the need to reduce incidents of crime and disorder,
particularly in relation to design, enhancement and publicity
(ii)
THAT
the residents’ scheme for Atherley
Cross Road, Shanklin be retained in line with the new policy
211.
