Minutes:

The Strategic Director of Regeneration submitted Document “R” which considered a petition requesting the introduction of a Resident Only Permit Parking (ROPP) scheme on Morton Lane and Ryshworth Crescent, Crossflatts, Bingley. The petitioners had expressed concerns regarding the lack of on street parking available outside their homes on Morton Lane between 8am – 6.30pm.

 

The petitioners had also expressed concerns that their garages/off street parking facilities at the rear of their properties on Ryshworth Crescent were obstructed by school traffic.

 

The Principal Engineer provided a summary of the report.

 

The Chair queried the discretionary element of the Council’s permit parking policy in relation to areas such as outside schools, shopping centres etc.  In response, the Principal Engineer stated that whilst the current policy acknowledged the demand for schemes in areas where residents parked close to those facilities, Morton Lane and Ryshworth Crescent did not meet the criteria as more than 50% of the properties had off-street parking.  He reported that there was a new policy document being drafted in which such areas may be considered under the discretionary element. 

 

Resolved –

 

(1)  That the petitioners’ concerns be noted and no further action be taken regarding the request for a permit parking scheme at this moment in time. However, the petitioners' request be reconsidered should the Council’s permit parking policy criteria be revised.

 

(2)  That a proposal to consider the introduction of ‘limited parking’ on Morton Lane and Ryshworth Crescent be included on the list of traffic management scheme candidates to be considered annually by this Area Committee for possible inclusion within its future programme of works.

 

(3)  That the petitioners be advised that obstruction of private driveways and/or garages is something West Yorkshire Police and/or the Council's Parking Services Unit could potentially investigate with a view to carrying out enforcement.

 

(4)  That the lead petitioner be informed accordingly.

 

(5)  That officers be requested to formulate and present the revised permit parking policy at the earliest opportunity to the relevant Committee for approval.
