Issue - meetings

Purpose.

To consider the consultation responses to the proposal under TRO 48/2020 to extend permit eligibility within the KD Castle Road area parking zone, and to decide whether to implement the proposal. When objections are received to proposed traffic regulation orders (TROs), a decision by the Traffic & Transportation Cabinet Member is required to be made at a public meeting.

Within this report, TRO means "traffic regulation order" and RPZ means "residents' parking zone".

Appendix B: Public response to the proposals

RECOMMENDATIONS

The proposal is implemented as advertised, meaning the remaining odd numbered properties on the west side of Grove Road South are eligible to apply for KD zone permits (Castle Road area). This would maintain a consistent approach to permit eligibility within RPZs across the city.

Kevin McKee introduced the report and in response to questions, clarified the following points:

The closure of Castle Road and the introduction of a cycle lane in Elm Grove are temporary measures.  If they work, there might be a desire to make them permanent; in which case a consultation would be carried out
