Report of the Executive Director of Environment, Development & Housing (copy attached).

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.

112.1         The Committee considered a report of the Executive Director of Environment, Development & Housing that summarised the outcome of the recent consultation on proposals for controlled parking in East Brighton Park and based on those outcomes, recommended implementation of a scheme.

112.2         Councillor Mitchell asked for further details on the responses from the sports clubs using the park and if the side streets off Wilson Avenue had been consulted due to the risk of displacement on to those streets.

112.3         The Head of Projects & Strategy clarified that all sports groups had been written to separately however, very limited responses had been provided so this issue would be revisited during the TRO stage. Mistakenly, the local cricket club had not been individually written to but this too would be addressed at the TRO stage. The Parking Infrastructure Manager stated that of the five side roads off Wilson Avenue, two fell within a CPZ. All residents in the area would be invited to comment on the proposals when the TRO was advertised.

112.4         RESOLVED-

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.
