The markings on street do not match the current TRO and we are looking to enforce the existing time limited Mon to Sat 2hrs 8am-6pm.

10.2    Two objections have been receivedfrom Bexhill residents on the grounds that not all residents have driveways, the proposals will make parking difficult for them and that there should be a resident permit area.

12.4    Having considered the objection, officers are satisfied that there are not sufficient grounds for the proposals to be withdrawn, as the restriction will prevent vehicles from parking on the pavement and reducing the width of the pavement.

16.2    Thirty-five objections have been received from local residents, 29 of which were from residents of Belmont requesting a speed restriction, a disabled bay and elderly residents warning signs, and hence were not related to the proposal. Four objections were received from police working at the station on the grounds that they would not be able to park nearby as the Wainwright car park is not suitably priced. One objection representing the residents of Collington Avenue was concerned that the extension to the zone will displace vehicles into their road. A further objection received from residents of Belmont was concerned with the consultation itself as they were disappointed they had to travel to County Hall to view the plans in person.

19.       Site 27 Main Street, Northiam (Councillor Paul Redstone)

19.2    34 objections have been received, 28 of which requested that the School Keep Clear markings outside of Frewen Preparatory School be extended, which is not related to this proposal, that the markings were installed historically to provide a place for Northiam CE Primary School crossing patrol to operate, the installation of no waiting at any time markings allows Blue Badge Holders to park and is an unnecessary urbanisation, and that School Keep Clear markings should be extended, not removed. Six items of support were received on this proposal.

19.3    The proposal follows a request to remove the School Keep Clear markings as they far extend the boundary of the school. The Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions state ‘The length of marking needs to be restricted to one which drivers will respect’ and it is considered the current School Keep Clear markings exceed a length that would be respected.

19.4    Having considered the objections, officers are satisfied that there are not sufficient grounds for the proposals to be withdrawn.

19.5    At the time of writing, Councillor Redstone has not confirmed his support for the proposal to be implemented.

20.       Site 28 George Hill, Blenheim Court and George Close, Robertsbridge (Councillor Paul Redstone)

20.1    The proposal at this location is to install new no waiting at any time restrictions on George Hill at its junctions with Blenheim Court and George Close.

20.2    Two objections have been receivedfrom local residents on the grounds that the proposal should extend along the west side from Blenheim Court to George Close, that the proposals will encourage vehicles to park on the east side of the road and suggesting speed cameras would help. Two items of support were received on this proposal.

20.3    The proposal follows requests from residents for junction protection markings to help them exiting Blenheim Court and George Close.

21.3    The proposal follows a request from Rother District Councillor Hart and a resident for no waiting at any time restrictions in this location as vehicles park both sides of the road narrowing the road considerably.

21.4    Having considered the objections, officers are satisfied that there are not sufficient grounds for the proposals to be withdrawn.

21.5    At the time of writing, Councillor Glazier has not confirmed his support for the proposal to be implemented.

21.6    Recommendation: To not uphold the objections and install the proposal as advertised.

 

22.       Site 30 Landgate, Rye (Councillor Keith Glazier)

22.1    The proposal at this location is to replace a section of Pay and Display with Loading Only Mon to Sat 8am-6pm.

22.2    Six objections have been receivedfrom local residents on the grounds that it will remove too many parking spaces and be empty the majority of the time. The objections are also of the view that few businesses need a loading bay in Landgate as most provide services and do not receive deliveries. One item of support was received on this proposal.

22.3    The proposal follows a request from a shop owner for a loading bay to service the shops in the street.

22.4    Having considered the objections, officers are satisfied that there are not sufficient grounds for the proposals to be withdrawn. The proposal will remove parking for approximately two cars and will ensure vehicles do not block the carriageway when they are loading and unloading.

22.5    At the time of writing, Councillor Glazier has not confirmed his support for the proposal to be implemented.

22.6    Recommendation: To not uphold the objections and install the proposal as advertised.

 

23.       Site 31 Bodiam Road, Weald View and Sheringham Close, Staplecross (Councillor Paul Redstone)

23.1    The proposal at this location is to install new no waiting at any time restrictions along Bodiam Road at its junctions with Weald View and Sheringham Close.

23.2    Five objections have been receivedfrom local residents on the grounds that heavy parking only occurs during weekdays at school opening and closing times, with no problems occurring when the school is closed, and doesn’t solve the main problem of more vehicles being used to transport children to school, it will simply displace vehicles into the side roads. Twenty-one items of support were received on this proposal.

23.3    The proposal follows multiple requests for restrictions outside the primary school.

23.4    Having considered the objections, officers are satisfied that there are not sufficient grounds for the proposals to be withdrawn as they will allow for suitable visibility for those exiting onto Bodiam Road. Junctions should be kept clear at all times.

23.5    At the time of writing, Councillor Redstone has not confirmed his support for the proposal to be implemented.

23.6    Recommendation: To not uphold the objections and install the proposal as advertised.

24.1    The proposal at this location is to install new no waiting at any time restrictions along Main Road at the junctions with Wheel Lane and Moor Lane, and Cottage Lane and Workhouse Lane.

24.2    Three objections have been received from local residents on the grounds that the proposed no waiting at any time restriction should extend to the school keep clear markings on the west side of Workhouse Lane and that vehicles do not park on Wheel Lane suggesting that speed reduction measures would be much more appropriate in this location. Six items of support were received on this proposal.

24.3    The proposal follows requests received before Civil Parking Enforcement was introduced for no waiting at any time restrictions along Main Road at these junctions.

24.4    Having considered the objections, officers are satisfied that there are not sufficient grounds for the proposals to be withdrawn as they will allow for suitable visibility for those exiting onto Main Road.

25.2    Thirty-four objections have been received from Bexhill residents and commuters, on the grounds that zone C should only cover the commercial area, that certain roads have not been included in their respective zones (these include Richmond Road, Richmond Grove, Magdalen Road, De La Warr Road, Wainwright Road and Dorset Road), that the proposals are unnecessary, that it will reduce the number of visitors and the bays currently aren’t full. Commuters concerned they won’t be able to park near their places of work. Concerns were also raised that the football club will be affected as visitors will need to pay to park. Objections from residents of Collington Avenue were received on the grounds that displacement will force vehicles into their road. One objection received on the grounds that there’s plenty of parking for residents already. Twenty items of support were received on this proposal.

25.3    The proposal follows requests received from residents to increase the area of each zone to protect resident parking. Proposals have been drawn up with the aim of balancing permit availability by taking into consideration permit to bay ratios and maximising the available kerb space.

25.4    Having considered the objections, officers are satisfied that there are not sufficient grounds for the proposals to be withdrawn.

25.5    Councillor Hollidge has confirmed his support for the proposal to be implemented.

25.6    Recommendation: To not uphold the objections and install the proposal as advertised.

 

26.       Site 34 Brassey Road, Bexhill (Councillor Ian Hollidge)

26.1    The proposal at this location is to replace permit holders and time limited 2hrs 8am-6pm with permit holders only 8am-6pm on the west side.

26.2    Eight objections have been received from Bexhill residents on the grounds that the proposals are discriminatory as residents on the east side will be unable to park outside their properties, that the current restrictions work fine for visitors from outside of the zones and removal of free parking will discourage locals from visiting the town centre.

26.3    The proposal follows a need to balance the available permit bays with the proposed zone changes, increase the available parking spaces for residents in the evening while still providing time limited visitor parking. The remaining shared use bays will ensure a turnover of vehicles allowing permit holders the opportunity to park on the east side if they so wish.

26.4    Having considered the objections, officers are satisfied that there are not sufficient grounds for the proposals to be withdrawn.

26.5    Councillor Hollidge has confirmed his support for the proposal to be implemented.

27.2    Four objections have been receivedfrom Bexhill residents on the grounds that the proposals create a disadvantage for residents as the current restrictions provide flexibility for their visitors and for users of the MOT garage, and that removal of free parking will discourage locals from visiting the town centre and the seafront. One item of support was received on this proposal.

27.3    The proposal follows a need to balance the available permit bays with the proposed zone changes, increase the available parking spaces for residents in the evening while still providing time limited visitor parking.

27.4    Having considered the objections, officers are satisfied that there are not sufficient grounds for the proposals to be withdrawn.

27.5    Councillor Hollidge has confirmed that he does not support the proposal being implemented.

28.2    Twenty-four objections have been received, sixteen of which are from Bexhill Sailing Club members on the grounds that 2 hours is not long enough for them to unload equipment, sail, and then load their vehicle without extra expense, therefore requesting permits for sailing club members. One objection received from a resident concerned they would have to park in a different road to their property due to the zone change proposals. Two objections received on the grounds that making residents pay to park on the seafront is unfair. One objection received on the grounds that some time limited parking should be kept. One item of support was received on this proposal.

28.3    The proposal follows multiple requests for a greater provision of resident permit parking. Introducing pay and display bays on the north side brings it in line with the south side where pay and display is currently in effect.

28.4    Having considered the objections, officers are satisfied that there are not sufficient grounds for the proposals to be withdrawn.

28.5    Councillor Hollidge has confirmed his support for the proposal to be implemented.

29.2    One objection has been receivedfrom a Bexhill Sailing Club member on the grounds that 2 hours is not long enough for a social activity or sailing without extra expense.

29.3    The proposal follows a need to balance the available permit bays with the proposed zone changes, increase the available parking spaces for residents in the evening while still providing time limited visitor parking. Visitors wishing to stay longer than 2 hours can use the bays on the seaward side of De La Warr Parade.

30.2    Four objections have been receivedon the grounds that it will remove all free parking which will affect businesses, and during the day the permit holders only bays are rarely used. One objection was received proposing permit premiums for properties with off street parking as a way to dissuade them from purchasing permits and occupying on street spaces that visitors could use.

45.2    Twenty-two objections have been received on the grounds that the no waiting at any time restrictions in the service road are needed, that the Egerton Park Indoor Bowls Club would like a concession for their members if the proposals are successful, that the removal of short stay parking indirectly discriminates against older people, that enforcement times should be between 3pm-10am so permit holders can use the bays when they actually need them and that there are too many blue badge holders bays being proposed.
