The Democratic Services Manager submitted a report of the Corporate Director for Place Management & Regeneration (copies of which had been circulated) detailing a proposal to undertake a design and feasibility assessment with regard to the removal of a projected footway on part of Ripley Avenue in Great Moor.

It was commented that notwithstanding the outcome of a design and feasibility study, any costs associated with the proposal as detailed in the report would be prohibitive, and it was suggested that consideration should be given to the provision of a disabled persons’ parking pay in an alternative location which would not necessitate any associated significant highway works.

RESOLVED – (1) That the Corporate Director for Place Management and Regeneration be requested to submit a report to a future meeting of the Area Committee detailing the feasibility of providing a disabled persons’ parking bay at an alternative location within the vicinity of the resident’s property taking into account the accessibility requirements of the resident.

(2) That the Corporate Director for Place Management and Regeneration be requested to submit a report to the next meeting of this setting out the Council’s policy in relation to the provision of disabled persons parking bays.

(3) That the Council Champion for Disabilities be provided with regular updates in relation to this issue and similar requests within the Borough.
