To consider the introduction of parking restrictions in Bay Road, Bullbrook.

Decision:

      i.        That the formal objections received during the statutory consultation process and the corresponding Officer comments are noted.

5172/003 – Bay Road - Proposed Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) (Annex A)

 

Reasons for the decision:

There are currently a series of priority chicanes on the road which were introduced a      number of years ago by the previous Highway Authority, Berkshire County Council. However, since implementation, car ownership has grown which has increased parking pressure in the area. On-street parking has been observed around the existing chicanes which causes both road safety and congestion issues.

 

Alternative options considered:

Not to install the waiting restrictions would result in the continuing safety and obstruction issues.

Financial Impact: Within existing budget.

Declarations: None
