The Cabinet Committee received a report of the Deputy Chief Executive (Place) that sought Members' approval to authorise the advertisement of the amendments and/or new waiting restrictions at the locations indicated in Appendix 1 to the report, in accordance with the statutory processes and, subject to there being no objections received following statutory advertisement, to arrange for the relevant orders to be sealed and implement the proposals.

The Cabinet Committee also had before it a supplementary report which updated Members on the request for the removal of the seasonal restrictions in Walton Road and Clieveden Road following the discussion of this matter at the last meeting (Minute 423 refers).  The Chairman agreed that these items be considered at this meeting as urgent additional items to enable the matters to be determined before the end of the financial year.  A copy of the supplementary report was circulated at the meeting.

Having considered the views of the Traffic & Parking Working Party it was:-

Resolved:

1.  That officers be requested to prepare detailed proposals for a pedestrian crossing in Western Esplanade between the Casino and the junction with Shorefield Road for consideration.

2.  That the Deputy Chief Executive (Place) be authorised to publish the relevant statutory notice and undertake the necessary consultation for a traffic regulation order to extend the existing permit parking controls around the Cliffs Pavilion area to include the section of Westcliff Parade between Westcliff Avenue, Wilson Road, Westcliff Parade and Cambridge Road and, subject to there being no objections received following statutory advertisement, to arrange for the order to be sealed.

3.  That the current seasonal restrictions in Clieveden Road and Walton Road remain unchanged.

Reason for Decision

Where recommended the objective is to mitigate for likelihood of traffic flows being impeded, to improve safety or increase parking availability.

Other Options

Each request needs to be considered on its individual merits and their impact on public safety, traffic flows or parking and wider impact on the surrounding network. Members may consider taking no further action if they feel it is appropriate
