Decision details

Approve to implement the proposed changes to disabled parking at 43 locations detailed in Table 1

A summary of recommendations includes the following:

• 34 new dedicated disabled bays
• 9 conversions of existing disabled bays to dedicated disabled parking bays
• Remove controlled parking zone restrictions where the introduction of new dedicated disabled bays is approved.
• Introduce waiting restriction extension at some locations

To prioritise parking and safety of disabled residents who live in the affected roads

A “Do Nothing” approach was considered but not recommended as it would not align to the Council’s Parking Strategy and our Parking Schemes – Resident Engagement Policy, and guidance issued by Department for Transport (DfT).
