Full council record
Purpose

Appendix 'C', which include measures to
address the following:
• Safety concerns in relation to both vehicles that are parked
causing serious problems with regards to the safe movement of
traffic and parking that obstructs driver's sightlines, impeding
access and egress at junctions and access to some businesses. These
measures will improve visibility at the locations and assist with
the general movement of traffic along the roads.
• Some of the measures are proposed to ensure access for
refuse vehicles and residential properties.
• Some of the measures are proposed to allow buses to safely
pull in and out without blocking the road and for Heavy Goods
Vehicles to manoeuvre in a safe manner with minimal obstruction by
parked vehicles.
• The order further removes restrictions that are no longer
required to provide additional unrestricted parking availability
for local residents and businesses improving the amenities of the
area
• The proposal also formalises restrictions that are currently
on site and corrects inconsistencies that have been identified
within current Orders. These proposals will not make any changes to
the restrictions or their extents on site, therefore drivers will
not be subject to any changes as a result of these proposals
