Issue - meetings

The Cabinet Member for Tackling Inequality and Resident Services considered the report which set out the results of a statutory consultation on the proposed new Care at Home Permit for parking.

The Cabinet Member RESOLVED to

Authorise officers to formally change the traffic management orders to introduce the new Care at Home Permit for parking, following and noting the response to the statutory consultation.

Reasons for decision

Statutory consultation forms part of the legal process set out in the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984[1] (RTRA 1984), for controlling vehicular movements by introducing measures such as parking places and waiting and loading restrictions. The Council is required to formally consider the feedback including objections to statutory consultations undertaken on changes prior to proceeding to implementation. 

Alternative options considered

No alternative options were considered at this point. This report seeks to enable a previous Cabinet decision, by reporting on the outcome of statutory consultation undertaken on proposals for the new free Care at Home Permit for parking. As there are no objections to a matter first considered by Cabinet, the report is presented for Cabinet Member approval rather than approval by Cabinet.
