The Highway Regulation Committee considered a
report regarding objections received to proposed waiting
restrictions at Sandy Lane, Dobcross. A report recommending the
introduction of prohibition of waiting restrictions on Sandy Lane,
Dobcross, was approved under delegated powers on 22 December 2023.
The proposal was subsequently advertised, and thirteen objections
were received along with one supporting letter.
Highway Regulation Committee on 18 July 2024 considered the
objections and resolved that consideration be deferred to the next
meeting and asked officers to meet with Ward Members with a view to
relaxing the length of the proposed restrictions. A site meeting
had taken place and a revised proposal plan had been drafted which
was supported by Ward Members. The amended proposal maintained the
majority of on-street spaces whilst also protecting the two main
pinch points where the main obstruction takes place over narrow
sections of carriageway. The amended plan was attached at Appendix
2 to the report.
On 26 September 2024 the Highway Regulation Committee recommended
that the objections be dismissed and the amended proposal be
introduced as shown on the amended plan at Appendix 2 of to the
report considered by the Committee.
