Decision details

To consider the points raised during the public consultation of Traffic Regulation Order "Various Roads, Keynsham  Order 2011" and decide whether to proceed with the proposed scheme

(1) To IMPLEMENT the following Traffic Regulation Orders because no objections were received by the statutory deadlines:

(a) No Waiting at Any Time in Access Road to Tesco from Bristol Road, Access Road to Chandag Junior School, Chandag Road, Cranmore Avenue, Courtlands, Charlton Park, Charlton Road, Caernarvon Road, Caernarvon Close, Derwent Grove, Durley Hill, Dapps Hill, Holmoak Road, Kennet Road, Access Road to Tintagel Close (Kelston Road), Lambourn Road, Lockingwell Road, Northern Access Road to Wellsway School, Oak Tree Walk, Old Bristol Road, Queen’s Road, Severn Way, St Ladoc Road.

(b) No Loading in Chandag Road 

(c) No Waiting Mon-Fri, 8am-5pm in Chandag Road 

(d) Limited Waiting Mon-Sat, 8am-6pm (2 hours) in Chandag Road

(e) Loading Bays in Chandag Road, High Street

(f) Disabled Bay in West View Road Mon – Fri, 8am – 6pm

(2) To MODIFY the School Keep Clears Chandag Road TRO so that the times are 8am – 6pm Monday to Friday only

(3) To ABANDON the schemes for Residents Permit Parking (Mon-Sat, 8am-6pm) in Chandos Road, Dryleaze, Summerleaze, Priory Road, Dapps Hill, St Clements Road.

(1) No objections were received by the statutory deadlines so these orders can proceed.

(2) This reduction in the times of the restriction is recommended due to feedback received from members of the public on the recent large number of school Keep Clear schemes introduced.  It is accepted that whilst a number of evening events may happen within the school the overall numbers are low and that parking should also be available to the public outside of the main times of use by the school where appropriate. It is considered that changing the finish time to 6pm will not affect the aims of the scheme or safety of pupils and other road users.

(3) The schemes are considered to have no strategic merit, do not address safety or congestion issues and only relate to local people. Numbers of residents responding both in favour and against the schemes were low and no clear mandate can be found to progress the scheme which will have both a restrictive and fiscal impact on all residents.

Many options were considered, including points made and objections raised during the consultation period
