The report of the Strategic Director Place Document “D” considers two objections received in response to the formal advertising of a one-way traffic system, a permit-holders only parking scheme, a shared-parking scheme, and No Waiting At Any Time parking restrictions on Thompson Lane, Shipley.

 

Recommended –

 

(1)       That the objections to the proposals as formally advertised (and as shown on Drawing No.TDG/THN/103507/TRO-1B and attached to this report as Appendix 2) be overruled, and that the Order be sealed and implemented as advertised.

 

(2)       That the scheme be re-visited in the event of policy changes being madewhich allow consideration of an on-street permit parking scheme for the eastern half of Thompson Lane between its junctions with Midgeley Road and Green Road.

 

(3)       That the objectors be advised accordingly.

 

(Environment and Waste Management Overview and Scrutiny Committee) (Simon D’Vali – 01274 432100)

Minutes:

The report of the Strategic Director, Place Document “D” considered two objections received in response to the formal advertising of a one-way traffic system, a permit-holders only parking scheme, a shared-parking scheme, and No Waiting At Any Time parking restrictions on Thompson Lane, Shipley.

 

A question and answer session ensued:

·         Due to a primary school on the northern side of Thompson Lane opposite its junction with Midgeley Road, and a children’s playground located on its  northern side at its southern end, a number of residents had expressed concerns as to the one-way traffic as would this increase the traffic level?

o   The speed table on which the school crossing patrol operated was located approximately 13 metres east of the exit point of the one-way system. It was considered that the distance between the exit of the one-way system and the School Crossing Patrol (SCP) is sufficient for drivers to be given adequate notice by the SCP of the need to stop if required; and,

·         Was it possible to increase parking for school users?

o   The scheme would be re-visited in the event of policy changes being madewhich would allow consideration of an on-street permit parking scheme for the eastern half of Thompson Lane between its junctions with Midgeley Road and Green Road.

 

A Baildon Town Councillor was in attendance and with the permission of the Chair, sought clarity on the principle of the consultation exercise of this scheme. He stated that the report had not made any reference to Baildon Town Council (BTC) and equally, had not consulted with Councillors of BTC.

 

In response, the Principal Officer stated that this was an oversight on behalf of highways, nevertheless the proposed scheme belonged to the Shipley Ward and not the Baildon Ward.

 

Resolved –

 

(1)       That the objections to the proposals as formally advertised (and as shown on Drawing No.TDG/THN/103507/TRO-1B and attached to this report as Appendix 2) be overruled, and that the Order be sealed and implemented as advertised.

 

(2)       That the scheme be re-visited in the event of policy changes being madewhich allow consideration of an on-street permit parking scheme for the eastern half of Thompson Lane between its junctions with Midgeley Road and Green Road.

 

(3)       That the objectors be advised accordingly.
