Minutes:
Councillor Dan Tomlinson, Cabinet Member for Environment and Public Realm (Job Share) – Lead on Public Realm, introduced the report setting out proposed changes to the terms and conditions of resident parking permits. The proposal was to remove the ability to park all day across a ‘main zone’ and limit it to the specific ‘mini-zone’. However, he also highlighted that the Council was reviewing the scheme further as was looking to see if other changes would be useful for example around boundaries, buffer streets and similar. Consultations would be taking place soon and through that or otherwise, he encouraged residents to let the Council know if they were experiencing any issues.
It was particularly highlighted that changes in Wapping were being considered to change boundaries or deal with particular parking pressures in that area. Zones C2/C4 and C3/C4 were particularly being monitored.
The Mayor welcomed the report and supported that changes that were proposed. He noted that the intention was that these changes would make it easier for local residents to find parking places near their homes. He accepted a proposal to amend the recommendations to make it clearer that the parking permit schemes would remain under review as required with particular reference to the areas mentioned during the discussion.
The Pre-Decision Scrutiny Questions and officer responses were noted and the Mayor then proposed the amended recommendations to Cabinet. They were agreed without dissent and it was:
