Decision - East Brighton Park Parking Controls

1.                  Parking in East Brighton Park is currently not controlled.  Surveys have shown that a large proportion of the cars in the park do not belong to people using the park but instead to commuters, residents and van dwellers.  The volume of parked cars is causing access problems, affecting the infrastructure and has a visual impact.

2.                  In response to these issues this Committee agreed to consult on proposals to control parking in East Brighton Park.  The consultation included proposals to restrict parking at any time on east side and at night time on west side of Wilson Avenue. 

3.                  The consultation has been completed and this report summarises the outcome of the consultation and based on the outcome recommends implementation of measures to control parking.

1.                  That the Committee Members note the outcome of the consultation.

2.                  That the Committee approves the proposals to control parking in East Brighton Park set out in this report, subject to the statutory consultation process for Traffic Regulation Orders.

3.                  That the Committee approves proposals to restrict parking on Wilson Avenue with single yellow lines on the west side and double yellow lines on the East Side as set out in the consultation, subject to the statutory process for Traffic Regulation Orders.

4.                  That the Committee instructs officers to advertise the associated Traffic Regulation Orders.
