(Report of the
Director of Street Scene, Leisure and Technical Services)
 
The report covered
the formal consultation stage of the parking restriction proposals
contained in Phase 15 of the Parking Action Plan and sought
approval to implement the changes.
 
Following the
meeting of the Joint Transportation Board in March 2025,
investigations into proposed changes were undertaken at 30 sites
across the Borough.  The proposals were
then reported back to the Joint Transportation Board in June 2025,
where it was decided that 16 locations should proceed to formal
consultation and invitation of objections.  A list of all the locations, the issues raised and
a summary for each was attached at Annex 1.  A location summary and a more detailed response
rate, analysis and recommendation was attached at Annex 2.
 
The view of local
members were sought and where
appropriate and/or practical, these would be reflected in the final
proposals.
 
Following
consideration by the Joint Transportation Board, the Cabinet Member
for Finance, Waste and Technical Services resolved that:
 

(1)       
the recommendation for Ph 15-01, 15-14, 15-21 and 15-22 for Phase
15, as set out in Annex 1 to the report, be adopted and where
appropriate the proposals be implemented; and

(2)       
the views of local members having been sought; the following
recommendations be adopted:
 

(i)         
Ph 15-03, 15-06, 15-08, 15-10 and 15-15, be abandoned;

(ii)        
Ph 15-07, 15-09, 15-18, 15-24, 15-27, 15-29 to 15-30, be taken
forward; and

(iii)      
Ph 15-16 (Booth Close, Snodland), the
recommendation to reduce the proposal, as set out at Annex 5, be
taken forward.
