Decision details

To seek approval to advertise an Experimental Traffic Regulation Order to introduce No Waiting At Anytime parking restrictions on Camber Road, Camber. To assist with traffic flow and access to the village by deterring parking on verges.

5.1       The Lead Member considered a report by the Director of Communities, Economy and Transport together with written comments by Councillor Keith Glazier as the Local Member submitted prior to the meeting.

5.2       Officers confirmed that any final decision on the experiment, could only be either: to make the Order permanent in like terms to the experiment without modification or to revoke it.

DECESIONS

5.3       The Lead Member RESOLVED to: authorise the making of an Experimental Traffic Regulation Order (ETRO) to allow a No Waiting At Anytime parking restriction to be introduced on Camber Road.

REASONS

5.4       A No Waiting At Anytime restriction along the Camber Road may discourage vehicles from parking in areas that restrict the width of the carriageway, hindering traffic flow and stopping vehicles from manoeuvring out of the way of oncoming emergency service vehicles attending incidents.

5.5       Introducing the restriction under an ETRO will enable the necessary parking restrictions to be monitored and reviewed before a decision is made as to whether they should be made permanent or revoked.
