Issue - meetings

The Board considered a report of the Strategic Director, Enterprise, Community and Resources, on the proposed introduction of waiting restrictions around Runcorn Hill.

It was noted that the report had been considered by the Environment and Urban Renewal Policy and Performance Board (PPB) at its meeting on 8 February 2017. The PPB supported the recommendation to make the Order in order to address parking congestion in the Runcorn Hill area. It also agreed that options be explored to assist the Runcorn and District Scale Model Boats Group with their parking concerns.

The Board was advised that, following recent improvements to Runcorn Hill Park, several complaints had been received regarding problems caused by parked vehicles from residents living in adjacent roads. These were detailed in Appendix A. The proposed waiting restrictions were the subject of formal public consultation in September 2016 and a summary of the fifteen objections received as a result were detailed in Appendix D. The report contained a summary of the Officer responses to the objections raised.

RESOLVED: That

1)    the proposal to make a Traffic Regulation Order to introduce “At Any Time” waiting restrictions on parts of Park Road, Highlands Road, Campbell Avenue and Heath Park Grove in Runcorn, as shown in Appendix B and defined in Appendix C be approved; and

2)    the objectors be informed of the decision.
