16. URGENT BUSINESS - OBJECTIONS TO ADVERTISED TRAFFIC ORDERS
Isle of Wight Council (Union Road, Church Road, Sun Hill and Market Hill, Cowes, IW) (Residents Parking Places) Order No 1 2000
The Director of Environment Services told members that amendments to the Residents Parking Places Order for Union Road, Cowes had been advertised.
A number of complaints had been received from residents of adjacent roads who felt the scheme was under utilised and too restrictive. After consultation with the local member and Cowes Town Council it was decided to readvertise a modified Order to include Sun Hill, Market Hill and Church Road. The Director outlined the criteria for residents parking and members were told that the residents of Sun Hill and Market Hill did not meet that criteria.
A subsequent letter from Cowes Town Council suggested a number of modifications to the advertised proposals. These were mainly concerned with Church Road and recommended residents' only parking on the east side with limited waiting on the north and west sides.
Nine letters of objection were received and the views of the Police and local member were taken into consideration.
RESOLVED :
THAT a modified Order be implemented incorporating the following changes :
(i) THAT residents of Sun Hill and Market Hill will not be eligible for permits.
(ii) THAT residents' parking be applied only to the east side of Church Road from the junction with Union Road to the bend opposite Church Lodge.
(iii) THAT limited waiting as outlined in the Town Council's letter be advertised for the north and west sides of Church Road.
(iv) THAT no action be taken to revoke yellow lines in the vicinity of the Sun Hill and Market Hill junction.
