The Panel gave consideration to a report regarding objections received to the introduction of time restricted parking along part of Beal Lane, Shaw.

Correspondence was received from local residents in the form of a petition containing 100 signatures which requested the introduction of time restricted parking along Beal Lane between Jubilee Street and Cheetham Street.

Th proposal had been approved under delegated powers on 16^th September 2019 and subsequently advertised. 5 letters of objections, 1 letter of representation and a petition containing 113 signatures had been received. The basis of the objections was the detrimental impact the proposal would have on residential parking along Beal Lane for residents who want to park longer than the 3 hours and for Cheetham Street who would suffer the problems generated by displaced parking.

In light of the objections, there was no reason why the proposed length of time restricted parking could not be reduced along Beal Lane. Permits for residents on Cheetham Street was a possibility pending a viability study and funding being available.

Options Considered.

Option 1: approve the proposal.

Option 2: rescind the proposal.

Option 3: to amend the proposal.

RESOLVED that, notwithstanding the objections received, the time restricted parking be amended and reduced along Beal Lane to cover property numbers 77 to 97.
