To consider a report of the Director for Place Management.

The report details a desk-top study of the parking availability on Elmfield Drive, Marple, following a petition from the residents for a Resident Parking Scheme.

The Area Committee is asked to note the contents of the report and consider the following options:-

(a)  consider the proposal that the Council contacts the school again to discuss the possibility of a School Street, and to review their travel plan and understand if they are working in accordance with that travel plan.

(b)  Consider that if there is an immediate need for a parking scheme in the area then funding to the amount if £4k will have to be made available from the Marple North Delegated Ward Budget to enable consultation and further investigations.

A representative of the Director of Place Management submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) detailing a desktop study of the parking availability on Elmfield Drive, Marple, following a petition from the residents for a Resident Parking Scheme.

It was noted that the parking scheme was not relevant to the area as it does not meet the criteria with the alternative being to do school planning, and that the school could be approached.

RESOLVED – (1) That the Area Committee noted the contents of the report.

(2) That the Council contacts the school again to discuss the possibility of a School Street, and to review their travel plan and understand if they are working in accordance with that travel plan.
