Decision details

Requests for Waiting Restrictions

Decision Maker: Cabinet Committee

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Decision:

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. 

 

With reference to the proposals for Ambleside Drive, the Cabinet Committee noted that whilst waiting restrictions of up to 10 metres would be advertised at the various junctions, this may be reduced to a distance of only 5 metres where appropriate.

 

During the discussion regarding Delaware Road, the Cabinet Committee also considered a suggestion that the Highways team work with South Essex Homes in relation to providing some additional parking facilities on areas of the land in Delaware Road opposite Blythe Avenue and in Delaware Crescent, where indiscriminate parking already occurred.  Any proposals arising from this should be the most environmentally friendly solution.

 

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

 

Resolved:

 

1.  That the Deputy Chief Executive (Place) be authorised to publish the relevant statutory notice and undertake the necessary consultation for a traffic regulation order(s) for the following requests and, subject to there being no objections following statutory advertisement, to arrange for the order to be sealed and the proposals implemented:

 

- Ambleside Drive, Southend on Sea - Amend existing waiting restrictions;

- Delaware Road, Shoeburyness - Amend existing waiting restrictions; and

- Southchurch Boulevard, Southend on Sea - Provide School Keep Clear Marking outside Futures College.

 

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(s) for the introduction of a residents parking scheme in the area covering Pleasant Road (excluding the car park to Norman Harris House), Hartington Road, Hartington Place, Ash Walk and Seaway (southern section only) and, subject to there being no objections following statutory advertisement, to arrange for the order to be sealed and the proposals implemented. 

 

3.  That, in relation to resolution 2 above, officers of the highways team work with the relevant Ward Councillors to identify appropriate areas for shared use resident parking and pay and display parking bays such as the southern extremities of Hartington Road and Pleasant Road and where residents parking is not compromised.

 

4.  That officers be requested to approach South Essex Homes with regard to the introduction of appropriate environmentally friendly parking on the areas of open space/verge on the north side of Delaware Road opposite Blythe Avenue and in Delaware Crescent.

 

Reason for Decision

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.
