The item was presented by the borough council’s On-Street Parking Co-ordinator. The paper detailed the outcomes of consultations undertaken to assess the need to implement new parking controls in Dene Road, St Luke’s and Onslow Village.

Both Councillor Goodwin and Councillor Phillips had received representation relating to roads in Onslow Village prior to the meeting.  Councillor Goodwin proposed that specific named roads in Onslow Village should be subject to further consultation in order to better understand the needs of the local communities. This was seconded by Councillor White and supported by Councillor Phillips. An amended recommendation was approved by the committee.
