Summary Sheet 15th January 2007
Proposed Yellow line restrictions – Camp Road area
Purpose of report
This report details the obstructive parking that is currently taking place in Camp Road and at
various junctions and bends in the area and officer's recommendations. It seeks approval to
formally consult on the proposed double and single yellow line restrictions.
Background
Since 2003 the Council has carried out a number of consultations (informal and formal) and
proposed various restrictions. As a consequence of each consultation the proposed measures
were changed to reflect the views of the residents directly involved. The last formal
consultation was carried out in September 2005 and at the Cabinet meeting in December 2005
it was agreed to make the Traffic Management Order to introduce a CPZ in Camp Road and double yellow line restrictions at various key locations in the area. As a result of a legal
challenge from a local business to the made Order the Council withdrew the Order. This
resulted in complaints being received from residents of Camp Road who strongly supported
the CPZ and the proposed double yellow line restrictions.
Following the election, the Ward Councillors convened a number of meetings between certain
interested parties whereby the proposed measures and Council’s duties and responsibilities
were discussed.
Recommendation
Taking the current parking practice and Council’s duties and responsibilities in to
consideration, it is recommended that approval be given to the undertaking of a formal
consultation to introduce the following restrictions :
1. ‘At any time’ waiting and loading restrictions to be introduced at:
Camp Rd/West Place/West Side Common/The Causeway junction. At the bends in Camp Road, Camp View and North View. On the south side of Camp Road. Chester Road/West Side Common.
South Side Common/ West Side Common junction.
West Side Common/Cannizaro Road junction.
2 Single yellow line restriction Monday-Friday 8.30am - 6.30pm outside the Fox & Grapes.
This will assist Fox & Grapes with their delivery (unloading). Currently the delivery vehicle
stops across the vehicular access to the Almshouses causing obstruction and
inconvenience to the residents.
For full details please see plan Z78/113/13
All 3 ward Councillors have been involved in discussions regarding this proposal.
