A representative of the Democratic Services Manager submitted a report of the Chief Executive (copies of which had been circulated) inviting the Area Committee to consider a proposal to install a barrier at Green Lane Playing Field to reduce anti-social behaviour being experienced by residents caused by people parking on this site.

Councillors discussed the background to the proposal and the problems reported by residents.

It was commented that as the proposal would mean the reduction in the availability of parking in the area that its implementation should be delayed until various proposed resident permit parking schemes in the vicinity had been implemented.

RESOLVED – (1) That the proposal to install a barrier to the car park at Green Lane Playing Field be endorsed and that approval be given to the allocation of £2,435 from the Area Committee Delegated Budget (Hazel Grove Ward allocatioN0 toward the cost of the installation.

(2) That the Chief Executive be requested to liaise with local councillors and Traffic Services as to the timing of the installation of the barrier to ensure that the implementation of the proposal does not cause undue pressure on the availability of parking for residents, and to liaise with ward councillors as to the distribution of keys to the lock for the barrier.
