A representative of the Assistant Director for Legal & Democratic Governance submitted a report of the Director of Place Management (copies of which had been circulated) seeking approval for a deviation from the council’s policy on providing disabled parking facilities.

The following comments were made/ issues raised:

·         Members welcomed a consultation on this matter with local residents.

·         Members queried the age of the two disabled parking bays and asked if there was any data on the regularity of their use.

RESOLVED – That approval be given to the deviation from the Council’s standard policy that no more than 10% of available road space should be dedicated to disabled parking, and that the Director of Place Management be authorised to undertake a consultation with affected residents, as detailed in the report, prior to the installation of new advisory disabled bays markings at Hodder Bank, Offerton.
