31.1               Councillor Davey considered a report of the Strategic Director, Place concerning comments, support and objections received to an amendment Traffic Regulation Order, which contained proposals for overall 150 roads.

31.2               Councillor Davey advised that the report responded to requests from residents, businesses and ward councillors and that the amendments included the provision of safety improvements and often helped to improve sustainable transport.

31.3               Councillor Peltzer Dunn requested that officers provide him with details of any changes within his ward, Wish. He questioned the recommendation not to proceed with double yellow lines in Roedean Road as he felt it would tackle safety issues associated with coaches parking in the road. He stated that the designated coach park on Madeira Drive had on average been only a third full and that coaches were instead parking in Roedean Road to avoid the charge; by implementing the double yellow lines, coaches would be encouraged to park on Madeira Drive and safety issues would also be addressed.

31.4               Councillor Davey explained there was a wider issue about coach parking in the city and that the possibility of a coach park as part of the Black Rock development was under consideration, but that funding had not yet been identified; he felt that it would be premature to implement double yellow lines in Roedean Road without a long-term strategy in place and advised that a report on coach parking would be brought to a future meeting.

31.5               The Head of City Infrastructure explained that she understood that provision at Madeira Drive was not sufficient and that if coaches were prevented from parking in Roedean Road they would find other roads to park in.

31.6               RESOLVED – That, having considered the information and the reasons set out in the report, the following recommendations were accepted:
