The Cabinet Committee received a report of the Deputy Chief Executive (Place) that appraised Members of the representations that had been received in response to the statutory consultation for proposed Traffic Regulation Orders for the introduction of a permit parking area in Station Avenue and East Street Southend-on-Sea.

The report sought the Cabinet Committee's approval on the way forward in respect of all of these proposals, after having considered the views of the Traffic & Parking Working Party the Traffic & Parking Working Party following consideration of all the representations that had been received in writing and at the meeting.

Resolved:

That the matter be deferred for consideration at the next meeting of the Traffic & Parking Working Party.

Reason for Decision

To ensure an informed decision to reflect the previous decisions taken by the Traffic and Parking Working Party and Cabinet Committee relating to the exclusion of established properties within a street from eligibility to purchase parking permits and reflect the outcome of the consultation on the revised proposals.

Other Options

Re-advertise the proposal excluding any property with off-street parking availability whether flats, houses in multiple occupation or individual houses.  This would however create additional costs and resources to amend the Traffic Regulation Order on every occasion that an individual property created off-street parking provision.
