The Cabinet Committee considered the report of the Executive Director (Neighbourhoods and Environment) that provided an update on the status of the progression of Traffic Regulation Order requests in respect of various Waiting Restrictions and Schemes across the Borough and by Ward.

The Cabinet Committee was informed that all of the schemes listed as “to be advertised by end July” had now been advertised with the exception of scheme No. 175 in relation to Eastwood Park.  This scheme was pending the outcome of the review on the consultation of payment parking in parks.

The Cabinet Committee noted the comments of the Traffic Regulations Working Party regarding the lack of information on the spreadsheet attached at Appendix 1 to the report and suggested that more information be included in future.  The Council’s Traffic & Highways Business Change & Development Service Manager gave assurances that this would be addressed.

In response to questions regarding the current situation regarding the possible installation of average speed cameras in Eastern Avenue, Southend on Sea, the Council’s Traffic & Highways Business Change & Development Service Manager undertook to circulate the details to the Working Party.

Resolved:-

1. That the update be noted.

2. That Councillors be requested to inform the service area by email to traffweb@southend.gov.uk if there are any schemes missing from the list.
