Decision

Approve to implement the proposed changes to disabled parking at 32 locations detailed in Table 1
A summary of recommendations includes the following:
• 24 new dedicated disabled bays
• 5 conversions of existing disabled bay to dedicated disabled permit bays
• 3 adjustment and relocation of existing disabled bays
• Conversation of dedicated disabled parking Bay outside No.9 Queens Parade N11 to a standard Disabled Parking Bay
• Extension of the existing dedicated disabled parking bay outside No.38 Ringslade Road N22 to 6.6 metres
• Removal of controlled parking zone restrictions where the introduction of new dedicated disabled bays is approved.
• Introduction of waiting restrictions (double yellow lines) at some locations where required.

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).
