Report of the Corporate Director Community and Environment.

The Panel received a report of the Corporate Director Community and Environment setting out the findings of a public consultation on a possible extension of the Controlled Parking Zones (CPZ) B & H in Stanmore and various parking changes within the existing CPZs.  It also recommended the roads for which parking controls were to be amended, introduced or removed, based on residents’ responses and should be progressed to statutory consultation and implementation. 

An officer stated that there had been consultation on parking controls in Green Lanes following petitions reported to the February 2010 meeting of the Panel.  Restrictions between 8.00 am and 6.30 pm Monday-Saturday had been proposed.  This measure had been supported by residents in the southern end of Green Lanes but rejected by residents living in the northern end of Green Lanes, and supported by only half of those residents of Culverlands Close who had responded.  He added that officers had attended a residents’ meeting but there had been no clear support for the proposed measures or any other parking controls.  Further consultation would be carried out later that week on proposals for a one way section on Green Lane north of Culverlands Close.  Any parking measures regarding Green Lane and Culverlands Close would be on hold until the results of this consultation were compiled.

The officer added that the report’s recommendation be modified to include 21?29 Rees Drive following two deputations presented at the February 2010 meeting of the Panel, and the amendment, as tabled by Members, be added to the resolution below.
