(Report of
Director of Street Scene, Leisure and Technical
Services)
 
The
report covered the formal consultation stage of the parking
restriction proposals contained in Phase 14 of the Parking Action
Plan and sought approval to implement the changes.
 
Following the meeting of the Joint Transportation Board in June
2023, investigations into proposed changes were undertaken at 32
sites across the Borough.  The proposals
were then reported back to the Joint Transportation Board in
September 2023, where it was decided that 17 locations should
proceed to formal consultation and invitation of
objections.  A list of all the
locations, the issues raised and a recommendation 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
views 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 Transformation and Infrastructure resolved
that: 
 

(1)    the
recommendations in respect of Ph 14-01 to 14-06, 14-08, 14-10 to
14-31 for Phase 14, 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
14-07 (Cottenham Close, East Malling) the proposal be amended to
reduce the proposed extended double yellow lines, so as to start on
both sides from the rear boundary of No. 1 Cottenham
Close;

(ii)     Ph 14-09 (Branbridges Industrial Estate
(south of roundabout), East Peckham) the proposals be abandoned;
and

(iii)   
Ph14-32 (West Street, Wrotham) the proposal be taken
forward.
