Matters if any Referred to the Executive for Consideration by the Overview and Scrutiny Committee
Scrutiny Review of Estate Parking
Head of Member Services to report, for information, that the Overview and Scrutiny Committee at their meeting on 24 October 2005 considered the Scrutiny Review having been endorsed, the Director of Housing should be asked to produce a proposed response for consideration by the Executive in accordance with the requirements of the Constitution.
Minutes:
Scrutiny Review of Estate Parking
We noted that the Review had been set up specifically to consider parking issues on housing estates and had looked at the current estate controlled parking scheme (ECPS) recommending ways in which it could be improved as well as ways in which parking policy could be further developed. The Review had also considered the development of additional policies and procedures to deal with abandoned and untaxed vehicles on all housing estates which did not have a controlled parking system in operation and the introduction of short stay visitor parking permits on estates with an ECPS. The question of the introduction of secondary enforcement action by the Council’s contractors against motorists who removed wheel clamps had also been considered.
RESOLVED:
That the Director of Housing produce a proposed response to the Scrutiny Review of Estate Parking for our consideration at a future meeting in accordance with the requirements of the Constitution.
