Issue - meetings

Report by Head of Roads and Amenity Services

A report providing a summary of the parking review process to date and the issues raised through the member workshop and informal public consultation, was considered.  The report also provides an overall programme for the implementation of any changes to the current arrangements and the associated statutory consultation process.

Decision

The Committee approved the following proposals:-

1. That the Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) for the Disabled Bays on Argyll Street, John Street and Church Street is amended to become restricted 24 hours/day.
2. That a TRO is promoted to make the mustering area a car park and that the loop road through the mustering area is adopted onto the Public List of Roads (refer to appendix 3 of the report).
3. That the TRO for Glenmorag Car Park is amended to allow use by HGVs.
4. That the TRO for Hanover Car Park is amended to prohibit use by HGVs.
5. That a 20mph speed limit scheme is developed for Rothesay Town Centre (refer to appendix 4 of the report).
6. That the existing non-charging car park TRO is amended to remove the 1.5 tonne weight restriction and to allow enforcement to be carried out (through the issue of Penalty Charge Notices).
7. That as soon as practicable, officers will introduce a system whereby all PCNs are recorded by location (ie car park name or street name) and by time and date. This is to allow a more detailed analysis to be made of where parking enforcement issues are and when they occur.
