The extension of the MF extension Craneswater area parking zone proposed under TRO 50/2020 is implemented as advertised.

Kevin McKee, Parking Team Manager introduced the report.

Councillor Matthew Winnington gave a verbal deputation.

Councillor Simon Bosher read a deputation from CM Shaw.

Kevin McKee read out a deputation from Harry Bush. 

In response to questions from members, Nikki Musson and Kevin McKee clarified the following points:

In the letters to residents about proposed RPZs a reminder could be included explaining that residents with dropped kerbs are not required to apply for permits if they park their vehicles on their driveways or in front of the dropped kerb.

Festing Road residents have been entitled to a MF permit since the zone was introduced.  Now that this road is having its own restrictions, further capacity is opened up

Parking remains unrestricted on the South side of Eastern Parade and St Helen’s Parade under this proposal.

As the rolling programme of RPZs progresses, the team is looking at how this can be best resourced. 

DECISION

The extension of the MF extension Craneswater area parking zone proposed under TRO 50/2020 is implemented as advertised.
