ItemBusiness
3The Working Party considered a report of the Corporate Director Enterprise, Tourism and the Environment that appraised Members of the representations that had been received in response to the statutory consultation for the traffic regulation order amending the existing waiting restrictions in a section of London Road, Leigh-on-Sea in the vicinity of Leigh Cemetery and after having considered all the representations that had been received, sought appropriate recommendation to the Cabinet Committee.

The Working Party noted that the section of London Road immediately to the front of the Leigh Cemetery had not been included within the proposals and suggested that a similar waiting restriction should be introduced.
4The Working Party received a report of the Corporate Director Enterprise, Tourism and the Environment that appraised Members of the representations that had been received in response to the statutory consultation in respect of an experimental traffic regulation order for a series of parking restrictions in the Chalkwell area implemented in December 2010 and, after having considered all of the representations that had been received in writing and at the meeting, sought appropriate recommendation to the Cabinet Committee as to whether the experimental Order should be made permanent or should be revoked.

6The Working Party received a report of the Corporate Director Enterprise, Tourism and the Environment that appraised Members of the outcomes of the recent informal consultation for a proposed parking management scheme in the Milton Area and which sought Members' views on the way forward.

The Working Party noted from the data collected that whilst responses from the residents in the roads within the west of the area were mainly opposed to a parking management scheme, the majority of responses, particularly those from the remaining streets were in favour of the proposed scheme. The Working Party therefore considered a reduction in the boundaries of the area and a phased introduction of the scheme. However, in view of the implications of possible parking displacement into the adjoining areas, it was felt that these were not feasible. It was therefore:-
