Minutes:

Kevin McKee, Parking Team Manager introduced the report

 

Councillor Matthew Winnington gave a verbal deputation in support of the recommendations.  Councillor Luke Stubbs also gave a verbal deputation.

 

Nikki Musson, Senior Transport Planner and Kevin McKee, Parking Team Manager clarified the following points in response to members’ questions:

 

There are double yellow lines all along Highland Road.  This proposal continues the thread raised during the residents’ parking programme of consultation decision meeting.  Some residents were concerned about having to walk up to 1km to the nearest on-street parking space within their allocated zone.  The properties on the Northside of Eastern Parade are included in the MG zone.  The South side continues to have free parking.

 

Therefore they were included in the Residents Parking Zone (RPZ) opposite.  The North side is included in the MH Residents Parking Zone with these exceptions and the South side in MG.  The Dr Surgery in Highland Road already has limited waiting and this would not be changed by this proposal.

 

A resident can only apply for a parking permit if their vehicle is registered with the DVLA at an address in that parking zone.  This cannot be changed to allow residents to apply for permits in different zones. 

 

The properties in the North of Eastern Parade are included in the MG zone.  The South side continues to have free parking.

 

The Southsea parking zones overlap in terms of timings to make it easier to enforce and to make it harder for drivers to move around the area to find free parking.

 

Businesses operating within RPZs can apply for business permits.

 

If you have a zone boundary running down the centre of the road, the council could designate the bays on both sides of the roads to the two zones.  Residents would only get a permit for one zone, but be able to use parking bays on both sides of the boundary road.  The first example of this will be considered at this meeting later this year.

 

Councillor Bosher argued that the people who did not say whether they were in favour or against the proposal and those who were in favour but opposed the timings could be classed as objecting.

 

Councillor Stagg informed members that she had instructed officers to look at several areas where the residents have waited a long time for surveys to be carried out.
