The Panel considered a report on the representations received to the introduction of No Waiting At Any Time restrictions and a disabled persons parking place at Woodend Street and Springlees Court, Lees which was approved under delegated powers on 10 July 2023. The proposal was subsequently advertised and two objections and three supporting letters were received.

One objection was received from a resident of Woodend Street and one from a solicitor acting on behalf of a local business on Woodend Street. Two further objections were also received from residents of Springlees Court and a third one from a person acting on behalf of a relative living at Springlees Court. However, once the justification for the scheme was sent to them, none objected formally. None of the objections related to the disabled persons parking place. The report contained a summary of the objector’s comments and the Council’s response.

Three supporting letters were received from residents of Springlees Court and Dunsford Court. In summary, the supporters believe that the restrictions are essential to prevent vehicles blocking footways, parking dangerously at junctions and obstructing vehicular access into Springlees Court and Dunsford Court.

Officers had considered the representations received and believed that the proposed restrictions are fully justified.

Options considered:

Option 1 - Introduce the proposed restrictions as advertised Option 2 - Do not introduce the proposed restrictions

RESOLVED that the objections be dismissed, and the proposal introduced as advertised in accordance with the schedule and plan in the original report.
