Decision details

To consider the representation by a member of the public, which was omitted from the formal consultation dated 29 January 2021, proposing the implementation of ‘No waiting at any time’ restrictions at Carnival Close (see Appendix 2).

I approve that the proposals be implemented with amendments as approved by the previous Cabinet Member with the additional removal of a length of six metres length of waiting restriction adjacent to Number 7 Carnival Close.

This decision was published on Wednesday 21 July 2021 and will come into force on Thursday 29 July 2021.       

The proposed waiting restrictions are required to ensure that full and unfettered vehicular access can be maintained to Carnival Close (for cars, cyclists and emergency vehicles) and to promote the safety of all road users, including pedestrians (particularly children) through the removal of parked vehicles on the footway.

However, during the period of consultation a resident submitted a representation.  Due to an administrative error, the submission was not considered and processed in line with the statutory requirements. This decision addresses that error and provides for an amendment to the advertised Order that will remove a short length of waiting restriction adjacent to the private parking area of Number 7 Carnival Close. This will allow the occupants to have visitor parking adjacent to the property in line with that afforded to adjacent properties.

To:

(i)             Implement the proposals as previously advertised.

(ii)            Not implement the proposals.

(iii)       Implement the proposals with a further amendment.

Informal consultations were undertaken initially from 25 September 2019 to 11 October 2019 with the Fire Service, Police and Ambulance Service and with the relevant bus companies, the Town Council and the Local Member.  Advertisements were published in the local press and notices were posted in prominent positions at the site from 13 August 2020.  A report was then prepared for the Cabinet Member for Highways, Transport and Waste for a Delegated Decision that was dated 29 January 2021 (see Appendices 1, 1a, 1b, 1c and 1d).
