Further to Minute 8 of the meeting held on 13 June 2018, the Director of Environment and Neighbourhood Services submitted a report asking the Sub-Committee to approve statutory consultation for implementing minor alterations to a number of parking restrictions within the Hospital and University area parking scheme.  Drawings showing the proposed alterations to the parking scheme were attached to the report at Appendix 1.

The report explained that previously agreed changes to the scheme, including the agreement to increase pay and display charges by 10p per tariff, which had been agreed at the meeting on 11 January 2018 (Minute 64 refers), had not yet been implemented.  It had been decided that some of the agreed proposals required further consideration of public feedback, and for officers and Ward Councillors to develop alternative proposals.  Appendix 1 set out a series of drawings to show the results of this development and the final proposals that were recommended for statutory consultation.  Once all changes had been agreed the implementation of restriction changes in the parking scheme area would be conducted as a single scheme, in order be more cost effective and ensure clarity of the restrictions across the scheme, supporting enforceability.

Resolved –

(1)     That the report be noted;

(2)     That the Head of Legal and Democratic Services be authorised to undertake a statutory consultation in accordance with the Local Authorities Traffic Orders (Procedure) (England and Wales) Regulations 1996, for the proposed alterations to the Hospital and University area parking scheme in Appendix 1;

(3)     That subject to no objections being received during the period of statutory consultation, the Head of Legal and Democratic Services be authorised to make the Traffic Regulation Order;

(4)     That any objection(s) received, following the statutory advertisement, be submitted to a future meeting;

(5)     That no public inquiry be held into the proposals.
