Decision details

Approve the proposed removal of the existing disabled parking bays at 44 locations detailed in Table 1 of this report
A summary of recommendations includes the following:
• Removal of 44 existing disabled parking bays
• Reinstatement of residents parking permit bays where appropriate and where the disabled bays are removed.
• Introduction of waiting and loading restrictions where appropriate.

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.

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).
