- View the background to item 26.
Report of the Acting Executive Director of Environment, Development & Housing (copy attached).
Decision:
1) That Committee agrees the Parking Scheme priority timetable as set out in Appendix A which would require officers commencing work immediately in the Hollingbury Road / Ditchling Road area and the Hanover & Elm Grove area.
2) That Committee agrees to a further report early next year on the options to take forward a consultation in the Hanover & Elm Grove area in 2016.
3) That Committee agrees to a further report in spring 2016 to determine the area and types of schemes to be consulted upon in the Preston Village, West Hove and Hove Park areas (if the relevant deputations are received). This report would also consider any further requests.
4) That Committee also notes the further requirement for additional resources to deliver this revised timetable and requests the Executive Director to investigate this possibility given the current controls on current expenditure and recruitment.
Minutes:
26.1 The Committee considered a report of the Acting Executive Director Environment, Development & Housing that recommending a parking scheme priority timetable based on recent representations to the committee and requests from ward councillors.
26.2 Councillor Gibson addressed the Committee on the proposals, expressing his support and that the committee agree to the timetable.
26.3 Councillor West expressed his support for the proposals and hoped it could address some of the parking problems experienced by residents who had attended the committee. In reference to Hollingbury Road and Ditchling Gardens, Councillor West noted that the scheme would be comprised of just those roads and iterated his view that the scheme needed to be broader due to potential displacement difficulties.
26.4 Councillor Nemeth asked if light touch schemes were intended to be self-enforcing.
26.5 The Parking Infrastructure Manager stated that light-touch schemes were not as heavily enforced as full schemes and going forward, officers would make that clear to residents requesting such schemes. In reference to Hollingbury Road, the Parking Infrastructure Manager explained that only that road had approached the committee with a request to be part of a scheme and no further action could be taken in the wider area until similar requests were received. Hollingbury Road could not join the adjoining Zone J scheme as it was already to capacity.
