REPORT OF THE PORTFOLIO HOLDER FOR TRANSPORT
(a)
Objections To Advertised Traffic Orders - The Isle Of Wight
Council (Various Streets, Apse Heath/Winford, IW) (Traffic Regulation) Order No
1 2003
Amendments to the yellow line waiting restrictions
had been advertised to address road safety issues in Apse Heath/Winford. Restricted visibility meant that approaching
traffic was often unable to see parked cars and larger vehicles often had to
encroach onto the oncoming carriage to pass them.
One objection had been received on the grounds that
the proposed restriction would have a negative impact on parking for a disabled
resident and would not address the perceived speeding problems in the area. A
petition had been attached to this letter that appeared to support introduction
of the yellow lines.
The Committee considered the report together with the
objections and comments of the local member.
RESOLVED :
THAT the restriction be implemented as advertised.
(b)
The Isle Of Wight Council (Various Streets, Cross Streets,
Cowes, IW) (Prohibition Of Driving) Order No 1 2002
An objection to a proposal to introduce a Prohibition of Driving Order, in Cross Street, Cowes, from its junction with St Mary’s Road to the junction with the High Street, between 10:00am and 6:00pm on all days, had been advertised
The proposed Order had been designed to reduce the number of vehicles
in the area by removing the right to gain access at this point to the adjacent
car park.
The objection that had been received referred to an ongoing dispute between the objector and the Council regarding entitlement to park adjacent to business premises. The Committee were advised that the proposed restriction would not prejudice any conclusion to the dispute, in so far as that delivery access and any adjacent private parking space would not be affected.
The Committee considered the objection and the comments of the officers.
RESOLVED :
THAT the Order be implemented as advertised.
