Business for item 4
Resolved:

That the Cabinet Committee be recommended that, subject to the reduction of the proposed restrictions in Rosary Gardens to one side on the east/west section only, the Traffic Regulation Order in Southbourne Grove, Weststbourne Grove and Rosary Gardens be confirmed as advertised.

Reason for Decision
To maintain parking restrictions which have proved successful in deterring all day parking by local workers.

Other Options

Do nothing - The problems of all day parking would recur.

Resolved:

1. That the Cabinet Committee be recommended that the Traffic Regulation Order be confirmed as advertised.

Reasons for Decision
To ensure adequate carriageway is maintained to allow for larger vehicles to access properties.

Other Options
Do nothing - not appropriate on the basis that while parking for local shops is desirable this should not be accommodated where parking is likely to be detrimental to traffic flow or safety.
