Purpose

To consider the introduction of a disabled parking bay in Greenhow, Bracknell

Decision

RESOLVED:

·       That the formal objections received during the statutory consultation process and the corresponding Officer comments are noted;

·       That the position with regard to local ward Members comments received during the informal consultation process is noted;

·       That the Borough Solicitor be authorised to bring the Disabled Parking Spaces Order into effect.

Reasons for the decision

To continue the Councils policy of marking out disabled parking bays in residential streets that are heavily parked and where disabled people may have trouble in finding a parking space close enough to where they live without experiencing real difficulty in getting from their car to their home.

Alternative options considered

To not install the disabled bays would result in the applicant continuing to experience difficulty in getting to and from their vehicle.
