Thornhill Way. This is to be removed.

The Parking Engineer presented his report recommending changes to on street parking restrictions across the borough. He noted that this year there seemed to be a trend of requesting lines around junctions.

From the 135 suggestions that had been received from residents and councillors, the report has put forward 41 recommendations. The Chairman took each recommendation in turn which were sorted by division, inviting comments from the divisional and ward members to raise any queries or objections.

38 out of the 41 recommendations were agreed as presented. These will be advertised in the New Year and residents will be invited to submit their comments and objections.

Where it was proposed that further development or consultation should be carried out it was recognised that this might mean that these recommendations may have to become part of the next parking review.
