Decision details

The Panel Considered a report recommending the introduction of prohibition of waiting restrictions on Coverhill Road and Chimes Court, Grotton.  The proposal was approved under delegated powers on 22 December 2023 and subsequently advertised and four objections were received.

The Panel were informed that there had been objections relating to the issue of displacement in parking on Coverhill Road, which would have an effect on parking on to Chimes Court, or further south on Coverhill Road, with the possibility of causing problems for residents in these areas.

Officers noted that there may be displacement. However, the length of the proposed restrictions was the minimum considered necessary to address the safety issues identified and to protect other parts of Coverhill Road that may be affected by any displacement from the main area of concern.

Options considered:

Option 1: Introduce the proposed restrictions as advertised.

Option 2. Do not introduce the proposed restrictions.

RESOLVED: That the proposed restrictions as originally advertised be introduced.
