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.

The Cabinet Committee was informed that the request by the Roslin Hotel related to the waiting restrictions in Walton Road and Clieveden Road, not Lynton Road.  This request related to the removal of the seasonal waiting restrictions at these locations and was identical to the previously advertised traffic regulation order earlier in the year, the objections to which had not been considered.

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

Resolved:

1.  That, in respect of the request by the Roslin Hotel, the previously advertised traffic order in respect of the amendment of the waiting restrictions at this location, namely The Southend-on-Sea Borough Council ((Various Roads) (Consolidation of Waiting Restrictions) Order 2006) (as amended) (Amendment No. 2) Order 2016, be considered at the next meeting of the Traffic & Parking Working Party and Cabinet Committee together with objections received in response to the statutory notice.

2.  That the request by Ward Member to amend the traffic flow in Cliffsea Grove to southbound only be approved and that the Deputy Chief Executive (Place) be authorised to advertise the necessary traffic regulation orders as appropriate and, subject to there being no objections received following statutory advertisement, to arrange for the orders to be sealed and the proposals implemented.

Reason for Decision

Where recommended the objective is 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
