Minutes:

The purpose of the report was to present the representations resulting from the formal advertisement of proposals in a number of other geographic areas and ‘ad-hoc’ locations and recommends that traffic regulation orders are made.

 

Members commented that controlled parking zones in Guildford town centre seem to have brought in uniformity around parking however there is need to bring in more flexibility as things have changed.  For example some resident’s need for Sunday controls and changes to operation.  Councillor Furniss said he would take this on board.

 

The query was raised as to when the Onslow area would be looked at, the Parking Manager responded that once this On-Street Parking review is complete a scoping report will be brought to Committee to look at other further items.  Members discussed recommendation three concerning new controls in Fairlands and whether to adopt the option of Annex 7a or Annex 7b.  It was felt that the option of Annex A would bring in unnecessary restrictions, the Parking Manager however informed Members that these would be the clearest set of restrictions.  It was commented that the option to adopt Annex 7b would cost the borough more and take extra enforcement however Councillor Witham had volunteered funding to cover costs from his Members Allocation.  Members therefore agreed on Annex 7b.
