(Report of
Director of Street Scene, Leisure and Technical
Services)
 
The
report covered the investigation and informal consultation stage of
the parking restriction proposals contained in Phase 14 of the
Parking Action Plan and sought approval to proceed to formal
consultation. 
 
Following the meeting of the Joint Transportation Board on the 5
June 2023, investigations into proposed parking changes had been
undertaken at 30 sites across the Borough. A list of these sites,
the issues raised and a recommendation for each was attached at
Annex 1 to the report.  A location
summary and a more detailed response rate, analysis and
recommendation was attached at Annex 2. 
 
The
report also considered a Satisfaction Survey relating to new
restrictions introduced in Shakespeare Road, Tonbridge (between
Burns Crescent and Scott Road).  It was
highlighted that if changes were made to remove the double yellow
line restrictions, these could be made without invalidating the
current Traffic Regulation Order.
 
Following consideration by the Joint Transportation Board, the
Cabinet Member for Transformation and Infrastructure resolved
that:
 

(1)       
the recommendations for each location for Phase 14,
shown in Annex 1 to the report, be adopted and where appropriate
the proposals be taken forward to formal consultation.  Furthermore, Members views were sought on West
Street, Wrotham and agreed that this be taken forward to formal
consultation; and
 

(2)       
following consideration of the views of the Joint
Transportation Board and local Members, the double yellow lines on
Shakespeare Road (between Burns Crescent and Scott Road) be
removed.
