The Traffic Management Advisory Committee considered the report on a petition from the residents of Addiscombe Court Road and Tunstall Road.

The Committee noted the concerns raised by residents and the need for a full consultation to ensure that further displacement did not occur on the surrounding roads. Members further noted that any changes would possibly lead to longer journey times, however would reduce the public safety risk that was being experienced.

Officers confirmed that the consultation would begin in March or April 2017, and would return to a future meeting of the Traffic Management Advisory Committee in May or July 2017. Monitoring would be taken place before and after any implementation of changes to the traffic flow of the roads and surrounding area to understand any displacement that may occur.

The Chair thanked the work of the residents association, ward councillors and Council officers which had produced some helpful documentation which was appended to the report.

The Traffic Management Advisory Committee RESOLVED to recommend to the Cabinet Member for Transport and Environment that they:

1. Consider the proposals to make Addiscombe Court Road and Canning Road no entry at their junctions with Addiscombe Road as shown on appended drawings.

2. Agree to the informal consultation with residents within the area shown on the appended plan.

3. Consider the responses to the informal consultation and report back to a future meeting of the Traffic Management Advisory Committee with a recommendation taking in those responses from local residents.
 

The Traffic Management Advisory Committee considered the objections from the public following the formal consultation process on the proposal to extend the existing Croydon Controlled Parking Zone (North Permit Area) to Greenside Road, Pemdevon Road, Sutherland Road, Wentworth Road, Priory Road, Canterbury Road, Wortley Road, Donald Road and Lancing Road with a combination of Shared-Use Permit/Pay & Display machines (12 hours maximum stay) and single yellow lines operating from 8am to 8pm, Monday to Sunday.

Concerns were raised that a number people had objected to the proposals, in particular in Canterbury Road. However, it was noted that a high number of objections had been received from residents of new developments who would not be eligible for a permit under the scheme.

Suggestions were made that the consulted area could be split, with the area south of Canterbury Road being 8am - 8pm Monday to Sunday, while Canterbury Road and north would become 9am - 5pm Monday to Saturday. It was suggested that another consultation would need to take place for area to be split into two schemes.

The Traffic Management Advisory Committee RESOLVED to recommend to the Cabinet Member for Transport and Environment that they:

1. Consider the objections to extending the existing Croydon Controlled Parking Zone (North Permit Area) to Greenside Road, Pemdevon Road, Sutherland Road, Wentworth Road, Priory Road, Canterbury Road, Wortley Road, Donald Road and Lancing Road with a combination of Shared-Use Permit/Pay & Display (12 hours maximum stay) and single yellow lines operating 8am to 8pm, Monday to Sunday.

2. Agree for the reasons detailed in this report to extend the Croydon Controlled Parking Zone into the above roads as shown on drawing no. PD - 329 for the reasons as set out in this report.

3. Inform the objectors and supporters of the above decision.

The Traffic Management Advisory Committee considered the proposed parking charges for 201/2018 and were informed that the estimated income loss would be in the region of £155,000 which would be contained within the existing parking account budget. The officer notified the Committee that the one hour free parking charge would not be implemented until July 2017 due to a consultation having to take place and changes to the parking machines.

The Traffic Management Advisory Committee RESOLVED to recommend to the Cabinet Member for Transport and Environment that they:

1. Introduce a new 1 hour free parking to replace the existing 30 minute free parking policy for district and local centres.

2. To retain the existing rates for all other parking charges including permits identified in Appendix 1, temporary, permanent and special event Traffic Management Orders identified in Appendix 2 and on and off-street parking charges identified in Appendix 3 & 4.

3. Authorise the Highway Improvement Manager, Streets Directorate to give notice of Recommendation 1.1 and subject to receiving no material objections on the giving of public notice to make the necessary Traffic Management Orders under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 (as amended).

4. Note that any relevant objections received to the proposed introduction of free one hour parking in district and local centres will be included in a report to be considered by the Executive Director of Place.

5. That depending on whether any objections are received that the proposed free 1 hour parking for district and local centres are implemented from Monday 3 July 2017.
 

The Chair informed the Committee that there was no business to be conducted in Part B of the agenda, in accordance with the Council's openness and transparency agenda.
