Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
To consider the introduction and removal of
disabled parking bays in various residential roads in Bullbrook,
Crown Wood, Great Hollands North & South, Hanworth, Old
Bracknell, Priestwood & Garth and Wild Ridings &
Central
Decision:
i. That the formal objections received during the statutory consultation process and the corresponding Officer comments are noted.
ii. That the position with regard to local ward Members comments received during the informal consultation process is noted.
iii. That the Borough Solicitor be authorised to bring the Disabled Parking Spaces Order into effect.
Reasons for the decision:
To continue the Councils policy of marking out disabled parking bays in residential
streets that are heavily parked and where disabled people may have trouble in finding a parking space close enough to where they live without experiencing real difficulty in getting from their car to their home.
Alternative options considered:
To not install the disabled bays would result in the applicants continuing to experience difficulty in getting to and from their vehicle. To not remove un-needed disabled parking bays would leave parking spaces unused that could relieve parking pressures in the area.
