Decision details

Decision taken by the Cabinet Members on: 22 May 2015

1.1. To approve the programme to consult residents on parking controls on their estates as outlined in Appendix 1 of this report.

1.2. To approve the draft consultation material attached as Appendix 2, Appendix 3 and Appendix 4 and to note that the text of the consultation material may, where appropriate, be varied by officers to aid the understanding of the proposal by residents.

1.3. To approve the cost of the informal consultation for the first seven estates (William Church Estate, Lancaster Court, Edward Woods Estate, Sullivan Court, Clem Attlee, Fulham Court and Barclay Close) of £45,000 to be financed from the Housing Revenue Account.

1.4.To note that a further report will be brought to Cabinet on the results of the informal consultation for the first seven estates.

1.5.  To note that if all seven estates proceeded to having a traffic order, it is estimated that further expenditure of £332,000 would be incurred.

1.6. To note that if traffic orders are introduced on housing estates, residents on housing estates would need to purchase a permit which would be priced at the same price as the surrounding Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ), currently £119 a year. This will mean that residents who currently pay for their own individual bay will pay less than their current payment of £141.50 a year but other residents who currently have a free parking permit to park in any unreserved bay will pay for a permit for the first time.
