(a) The Mount (2021B)
(b) 2022A proposals for statutory consultation
A report seeking a decision on whether or not the proposal for The Mount should be implemented and for officer to undertake statutory consultation for recommended new/alterations to waiting restrictions as part of the 2022A waiting restriction programme.
Minutes:
The Executive Director for Economic Growth and Neighbourhood Services submitted a report that sought a decision as to whether or not the proposal for The Mount should be implemented. A proposal to amend the existing restrictions on The Mount had been included in the 2021B waiting restrictions programme and following a full statutory consultation, the results had been submitted to the previous meeting (Minute 42 refers). Having reviewed the objections, a decision had been made to defer the decision pending further discussions between Ward Councillors and residents; the programme was currently on hold pending this decision.
The report also sought approval for officers to carry out statutory consultation for recommended new/alterations to waiting restrictions as part of the 2022A waiting restrictions programme. These proposals aimed to address the issues that had been raised in the initial list of requests, which had been submitted to the previous meeting and agreed for investigation.
The following appendices were attached to the report:
Appendix 1 A drawing that showed the proposal for The Mount, which had formed part of the 2021B programme consultation in February 2022;
Appendix 2 included the recommendations and drawings, by Council Ward for the 2022A programme.
At the invitation of the Chair Jill Simpson attended the meeting and addressed the Sub-Committee in support of the proposals for The Mount. At the invitation of the Chair Paul Bennett attended the meeting and addressed the Sub-Committee against the proposal in respect of The Mount.
At the invitation of the Chair, Councillors Cross and McElroy attended the meeting and also addressed the Sub-Committee in respect of The Mount.
