Details of Specific Delegation

or

Delegation contained in the relevant Sub-Scheme of Delegation.

To promote, consider objections to and implement Traffic Regulation Orders under the Traffic Regulation Act 1984.

Sub Scheme of Delegation - Executive Director of Regeneration and Environment.pdf, Page 21.

Decision:

Continue with the making of the orders for the proposal.

Reasons for the Decision:

There is a risk that without amending the order to reflect the proposed Pay and Display parking bays, that any potential enforcement of these bays on Eastwood Lane, and any subsequent issue of penalty notices that are challenged, could be successful, if the legal order supporting them, is not correct. The proposed change to the traffic regulation order addresses this.

Details of alternative options considered and rejected:

No other options considered. The removal of the existing waiting restriction is required to facilitate a relocated pedestrian crossing point and reconfiguration of existing Pay and Display bays.

Conflicts of interest declared by the Decision Maker if they sit as a Cabinet appointed representative to an outside body which relates to the decision:
