6The Traffic & Parking Working Part 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 for the traffic regulation order amending the existing waiting restrictions in Pehnurst Avenue, Derek Gardens and Feeches Road and, following consideration of all the representations that had been received in writing and at the meeting, sought appropriate recommendation to the Cabinet Committee.
7The Working Party received a report of the Corporate Director Enterprise, Tourism and the Environment that informed Members of the outcomes of a recent informal consultation and which sought appropriate recommendations for further action for the Parking Management Scheme around the Southend Victoria Station Area.

As a result of the responses received from the residents in Boscombe Road, it was suggested that Boscombe Road be excluded from the parking management scheme. However, in view of the potential impact of displaced parking, the Working Party requested that the scheme be monitored and that Boscombe Road be included within scheme following the review should it be necessary.

The Team Leader - Traffic Management and Road Safety Team undertook to liaise with the Coleman Street Chapel regarding the proposals.

In response to a request from Councillor Wexham, the Team Leader - Traffic Management and Road Safety Team undertook to ensure guidance regarding parking by blue badge holders is published on the Council's website.
