Public Question Time

To receive Questions from the Public, in accordance with the Council’s Constitution.

Minutes:

The following question was received from Parish Councillor Louie Hamblett and replied to:-

 

Question

My query is regarding Newton St and the pedestrian zone (colloquially known as Armstrongs carpark). Whilst I do not begrudge users of the business and Market St parking on Newton St along with OMBC refuse collection wagons on a Friday, I do understand that parking on the square is wholly against the restrictions in place. So I'd like to ask would it be possible to have regular monitoring of the area or move the bollards to the end of the pedestrian zone or do away with the zone area completely.

 

Reply

 

Angela Lees, Parking Manager, advised that there would be regular monitoring of the area and that enforcement notices would be issued to all vehicles in the zone, with the exception of those legitimately and visibly loading. Currently the observation time was 15 minutes; as a result of the question submitted this would be reduced to a 2 minute observation for a private car and 5 minutes for a goods vehicle
