6.Part I - For Decision

Traffic movement and safety proposals have been developed in consultation with Ashford Borough Council to introduce and amend movement and parking controls associated with the new extensions to Victoria Road and Leacon Road Ashford.
 Victoria Way – Resolution to Objections on Parking Consultation 
7.Kent County Council has recently completed a review of the Disabled Persons’ Parking Bay application procedure which included consultation with representatives of the District Councils. This review was brought about as a result of concerns over the compliance of the existing policy with the Disability Discrimination Act which has subsequently been replaced by the Equality Act. As a result of this review a revised procedure has been produced for adoption by the District Authorities. The issue of whether to charge for the introduction of bays has however been left open for decision at District Level although a recommended maximum limit of £250 has been set. Members are therefore asked to consider and recommend on the adoption of the revised procedure and on whether a charge should be introduced.
