(Report of the Director of Environmental Services - To be introduced by the Executive Member for Environment and Conservation): To report the feed back of the Statutory Consultation for the extension of the Finsbury Park CPZ.

Our Chair agreed to accept the report as urgent business. The report was late because of the need to conclude necessary consultations. The report was too urgent to await the next meeting because of the need to make a Traffic Management Order and proceed to Statutory Consultation.

Councillor Diakides declared an interest in this item by virtue of being a resident of the area affected by the proposed extension and withdrew from the meeting. [1]

We noted that with the meeting to which reference was made in paragraph 10.2 of the report had been with residents of 64 – 84 Stapleton Hall Road.

RESOLVED:

1.      That the feedback of the further consultation and statutory consultation process and in particular the objections received be noted.

2.      That approval be granted to the extension of the Finsbury Park CPZ for the hours Monday to Saturday 8:30am to 6:30pm, Match day and event Day Controls Monday to Saturday 8:30am to 8:30pm, Sunday 12 noon to 4:30pm, as specified in Appendix I of the interleaved  report.

3.      That Council officers be authorised to make the Traffic Management Order (TMO) and take all the steps necessary for the introduction of a CPZ in the proposed extension area.
