A representative of the Corporate Director for Place Management and Regeneration submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) presenting the findings from a consultation undertaken in June and July 2019 on a proposed Permit Parking scheme in Davenport and Cale Green, and seeking approval to implement the proposed scheme.

The feedback from the consultation had been carefully considered. The implementation of a zonal scheme would allow flexibility and the introduction of controlled business parking permits. The ‘Compstall Scheme’ had been put forward by residents as a solution for this area. This was a street-by-street scheme with a car park for residents only and had been discounted because there is no car park nearby.

With the agreement of the Area Committee, a member of the public who was opposed to the proposals was permitted to address the Area Committee for three minutes.

RESOLVED – That the proposed zonal scheme be implemented on a pilot basis, to be funded from the parking budget, comprising the updates referred to in Section 7 of the report, and shown on drawing NM27-6228-04 at Appendix C to the report.

(2) That the scheme be subject to ongoing monitoring and reviews to be undertaken:-

·         after three months to consider any impact on the areas surrounding the zone.

·         after ten months to consider the operation of the zone itself, associated permits and any impact on the surrounding areas.
