Decision

Approve to implement the proposed changes to disabled parking at 20 locations and ambulance parking at 2 locations detailed in Table 1
A summary of recommendations includes the following:
• 15 new dedicated disabled bays
• 5 conversions of existing disabled bays to dedicated disabled parking bays
• 2 new ambulance bays
• Remove controlled parking zone restrictions where the introduction of new dedicated disabled bays is approved

Reasons for the decision

To prioritise parking and safety of disabled residents who live in the affected roads

Alternative options considered

A “Do Nothing” approach was considered but not recommended as it would not align to the Council’s Parking Strategy August 2024 and our Parking Schemes – Resident Engagement Policy, and guidance issued by Department for Transport (DfT).
