Agenda item

Further to Minute No. 6 of the meeting of the Cabinet Member and Advisers for Regeneration and Development Services held on 19th May, 2008, consideration was given to a report, presented by the Senior Traffic Engineer (Transportation and Highways Design, Environment and Development Services Directorate), concerning the objections received by the Council to the proposed introduction of ‘No Waiting at Any Time’ and ‘Limited Time waiting’ restrictions on Worrygoose Lane, Reresby Drive and Lathe Road, Whiston. The report described the various parking issues in this area, including:-

: the use of a time limited waiting bay in the lay-by adjacent to the shops at Worrygoose Lane;

: complaints received from local residents about the number of vehicles parking on the junctions of Worrygoose Lane/Reresby Drive and Worrygoose Lane/Lathe Road; vehicle parking at these locations has caused obstruction to driveways and footways and has also seriously reduced visibility at the junctions;

: the proposal to introduce ‘No Waiting at Any Time’ restrictions (double yellow lines) on both sides of the junction of Worrygoose Lane/Reresby Drive to a minimum distance of ten metres and ‘Time Limited Waiting’ restrictions (single yellow line) Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, extending from Worrygoose Lane into Lathe Road by approximately 70 metres (these proposed waiting restrictions were shown on drawing number 126/18/TT473, appended to the report).

The report detailed the two objections to and the three letters of support for the proposed scheme of parking restrictions.

Resolved:- (1) That the report be received and its contents noted.

(2) That the objections to the proposed scheme, as now reported, be not acceded to.

(3) That the objectors be informed of the decision and the reasons why.

(4) That the letters of support for the scheme be noted.

(5) That the Director of Legal and Democratic Services make the proposed Traffic Regulation Order, as advertised, for the introduction of ‘No Waiting at Any Time’ and ‘Limited Time waiting’ restrictions on Worrygoose Lane, Reresby Drive and Lathe Road, Whiston, as shown on drawing number 126/18/TT473 now submitted.

(6)  That monitoring be undertaken when the scheme had been implemented.
