Report by the Director of Communities, Economy and Transport Additional documents: Minutes: 47.1 The Lead Member considered a report by the Director of Communities, Economy and Transport.
47.2 Mr Danny Ellis, the Lead Petitioner, attended the meeting and spoke to clarify the petitioners’ request for a residents only zone, and not an extension to the controlled parking arrangements in Zone K (Zone K permit holders or 2 hours free parking for anyone else).
DECISION
47.3 RESOLVED to advise the petitioners that the request will be considered as part of the next review of parking in Hastings. A consultation will need to take place to see if there is a desire from the wider community for the parking controls to be introduced in this section of Silchester Road, St Leonards-on-Sea.
Reasons
47.4 Controlled parking must have the support of local residents and businesses. Any new parking scheme or extension to an existing scheme also needs to strike a balance for the needs of all users and requires extensive consultation.
47.5 If the initial consultation demonstrates a high level of support from local residents and businesses then it is recommended that the scheme is progressed to formal advertising. This will be open to further public consultation and objection, will need to follow the legal procedure, and could take around fourteen months to complete. |
