Agenda item

The Sub-Committee received a report concerning the outcomes of the consultation on measures to improve the circulation of traffic within the Tudor Street area undertaken in February 2007.

Members were advised that there were five responses received during the consultation objecting to the relocation of a length of motor cycle parking from Carmelite Street to Tallis Street.  The report identified an alternative location for the motor cycle parking while the remainder of the proposed measures that drew no comment would be implemented to avoid delaying the benefits the measures will deliver to the traffic flow in the Tudor Street area.

Members raised a number of questions in relation to the numbers and types of people using the spaces, the availability and location of alternative free parking and how this could be highlighted to users, the likely displacement effect relocating would have, and whether or not further consultation on other options should be undertaken.

Arising from the discussion a vote was taken:

6 FOR

2 AGAINST

1 ABSTENTION

And the Sub-Committee RESOLVED to:

1)        Agree not to relocate the motor cycle parking to the western section of Tallis Street as agreed previously by the Court of Common Council on 12 January 2017.

2)        Agree that the objectors be informed of the decision accordingly.
