Decision(s):

(1)           That the revised policy to discourage and enforce verge and pavement parking at specific sites in town and village centres be approved;

 

(2)           That the amendment to the scheme of delegation when dealing with Temporary Traffic Regulation Orders be approved, whereby the Assistant Director – Highways and Public Protection consider any proposals for a temporary closure of up to six months and the Cabinet Member consider any proposals for a temporary closure of six months or more.

 

Reason(s) for the Decision(s):

 

The Council has the power to revoke a Traffic Regulation Order (Part IV of Schedule 9 to the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984) as well as the power to make a new Traffic Regulation Order (Section 1 of that Act).
