Decision Maker: Head of Highways and Parking

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

Approve the proposed removal of the existing disabled parking bays at 28 locations detailed in Table 1 of this report
A summary of recommendations includes the following:
• Removal of 28 existing disabled parking bays
• Reinstate the residents parking permit bays where appropriate where the disabled bays are removed.

Reasons for the decision:

Residents reported/confirmed these existing disabled Parking bays are no longer required and removing the bays will free up the unused spaces for other residents to park.

Alternative options considered:

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).
