| 9. | Part I – For Decision |
| | This report details the results of formal consultation (see paragraphs 19-41 of this report) conducted between 19th December 2013 and 17th January 2014 on a proposed scheme of parking controls for certain roads within the Goat Lees residential estate Boughton Aluph Ashford; presenting Officer’s conclusions and further recommendations.Discussion of these results has been held between Officers and the Portfolio Holder Divisional Member Ward Member and representatives of the Parish Council in order to determine a mutually agreeable way forward with regard to the scheme. All parties have recognised that following the increase to the parking amenity within the Eureka Business Park site the majority of remaining all day parking within the estate arises from a lack of visitor parking provision within the Business Park. Officers have consulted closely with the Ward Member Councillor Winston Michael and the Boughton Aluph and Eastwell Parish Council and a copy of a letter from the Parish Council is attached as appendix 3 to this report which accords with the recommendation to the Board.On assessment of the representations received through consultation from residents the Local Highway Authority’s Traffic Engineer and the Police it is the advice of Officers that the low response rate and lack of consensus provides no mandate for implementation of this scheme as proposed and furthermore that the introduction of limited waiting restrictions would provide little benefit to the residents of the estate. The restrictions proposed for Hurst and Trinity Roads would serve a defined safety purpose and have the support of the Local Highway Authority’s Traffic Engineer the Ward Member the Divisional Member the Portfolio Holder and the Parish Council. |
