Agenda item

To consider the attached report of the Director of Environment and Corporate Assets.

The Head of Community Safety, CCTV and Parking presented the report, advising that Kent Police and KCC Highways had been unable to resolve the issues set out in the report and had consequently requested that Dover District Council offer the residents of Athol Terrace a parking scheme.  A review of parking in the immediate area had been undertaken and the preferred scheme, covering Athol Terrace, East Cliff and Marine Parade, was considered the most equitable option.  In response to a query from Councillor Bond, Mr Rivers advised that KCC’s policy on the size of residents’ parking zones was that they would usually consist of several roads rather than just one. 

RESOLVED:   That the proposal to introduce a combined Residents’ Parking Scheme covering Athol Terrace, East Cliff and Marine Parade (as detailed in the report) be formally advertised, with any objections being referred back to a future meeting of the Dover Joint Transportation Board for further consideration.

(Councillor N J Collor left the Chamber during consideration of this item and Councillor S C Manion, Vice-Chairman, assumed the chairmanship.)
