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 in respect of various proposals within the Borough.  These included:

(i) the introduction of junction protection in the roads adjoining Ambleside Drive

(ii) the introduction of one-way traffic flows and the removal of alternate monthly parking in Windsor Road and Osborne Road;

(iii) the introduction of a prohibition of waiting on Mondays to Fridays 10.00 a.m. to 12.00 noon in Belfairs Park Drive.

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 following consideration of all the representations that had been received in writing and at the meeting. Large scale plans of the proposals were displayed at the meeting.

With reference to the proposals relating to Windsor Roads and Osborne Road, it was noted that the possible introduction of a residents parking permit scheme was being investigated.
