1.1  Restrictions as detailed on plan G13 and H13.

  Roads affected: Calton Gardens

  Restriction: Proposed No Waiting At Any Time markings

Recommendation: That the proposals are withdrawn as the Council received 37 objections to the implementation of these restrictions and no comments of support. It is therefore recommended that these proposed No Waiting At Any Time markings are not implemented at this time.

1.2  Restrictions as detailed on plan H17.

  Roads affected: Meare Road and Queen’s Drive

  Restriction: Proposed No Waiting At Any Time markings

Recommendation: That the proposals are implemented as the Council received only 1 objection to the implementation of these restrictions, however these proposals were requested by Local Councillors to improve access and visibility for emergency and refuse vehicles around this junction It is therefore recommended that these proposed No Waiting At Any Time markings are implemented.

1.3  Restrictions as detailed on plan I19.

  Roads affected: Combe Road Close

  Restriction: Proposed No Waiting At Any Time markings

Recommendation: That the proposals are withdrawn as the Council received 5 objections to the implementation of these restrictions and only 1 comment of support. As on-street parking stock is limited in this area and due to the lack of local support on this small cul-de sac it is recommended that these restrictions are not implemented at this time.

1.4  Restrictions as detailed on plan J18.

  Roads affected: Church Road

  Restriction: Proposed No Waiting At Any Time markings

Recommendation: That the proposals are implemented as the Council received 1 objection and 1 comment of support to the implementation of these restrictions. These proposals were requested by the local councillor to improve manoeuvrability for vehicles within the turning head at the end of Church Road by upgrading the existing advisory white keep clear markings into enforceable No Waiting At Any Time markings.

1.5  Restrictions as detailed on plan J17.

  Roads affected: Claverton Down Road

  Restriction: Proposed No Stopping on School Entrance Markings, Mon – Fri, 8am – 6pm

Recommendation: That the proposals are implemented as the Council received no objections and 1 comment of support in part to the implementation of these restrictions. These proposals were requested by the local councillor to improve accessibility and visibility when entering and exiting the school grounds onto the busy Claverton Down Road.

1.6  Restrictions as detailed on plan I12.

  Roads affected: Pulteney Road

  Restriction: Proposed No Waiting At Any Time markings

Recommendation: That the proposals are implemented as the Council received no objections to the implementation of these restrictions and these proposals were requested by the local councillor to improve visibility on this section of highway.

1.7  Restrictions as detailed on plan J11.

  Roads affected: Bathwick Hill

  Restriction: Proposed extension of Residents Parking Zone A, Mon - Sat, 8am – 6pm and 4 hours Limited Parking No Return within 1 hour.

Recommendation: That the proposals are withdrawn. The Council received 3 objections, 2 comments of support and 2 comments of support in part. After a full consultation process in excess of 50% of the total number of residents of the streets directly affected must be in favour of the proposals to ensure a clear majority are in favour due to the restrictive and fiscal impact of a scheme. Therefore as the Council did not receive an over whelming majority in favour, it is recommended that Resident Parking Zone A is not extended at this time. It is also recommended that the 4 hour limited waiting restriction is not implemented as without the Resident Parking element this would have a direct impact on local residents.

1.8  Restrictions as detailed on plan K17, M17, M16, and L17.

  Roads affected: Claverton Down Road

  Restriction: Proposed No Waiting At Any Time markings

Recommendation: That the proposals are implemented as the Council received no objections to the implementation of these restrictions and 1 comment of support and 2 comments of support in part. The managers of open access countryside wanted it noted that they do feel the restrictions will create an issue for local residents and the general public who wish to access the Claverton Down countryside. These proposals however were requested by the local councillor and our Traffic & Safety Engineer. It is therefore recommended that these proposed restrictions are implemented.

1.9  Restrictions as detailed on plan H14.

  Roads affected: Lyncombe Hill

  Restriction: Proposed No Waiting At Any Time markings

Recommendation: That the proposals are implemented. The Council received 5 objections to the implementation of these restrictions, however these proposals have been approved by the Local Councillor and the area Traffic & Safety Engineer. A proposal was put forward in a previous TRO to remove the whole parking bay (2 cars length). It was considered that parking in this location does act as a traffic calming measure and it was therefore recommended by the Safety Engineer that at least one space should remain. The new proposals were drafted recommending the removal of one space only. As parking in this location obstructs the safe access of vehicles to and from the adjacent property, it is recommended that the proposal to remove one Resident Parking space and replacement with No Waiting At Any Time markings is implemented.

1.10Restrictions as detailed on plan E19 and F19

  Roads affected: Kempthorne Lane

  Restriction: Proposed No Waiting At Any Time markings

Recommendation: That the proposals are withdrawn as the Council received 16 objections to the implementation of these restrictions and 1 comment of support in part. A number of the comments received said that the restrictions did not go far enough to tackle obstruction and access issues. There were also concerns that parking would migrate into Clara Cross Lane and that any proposals should consider this section of the highway too. It is therefore recommended that these proposals are withdrawn at this time and that new proposals and further consultation with residents is carried out.

  Restriction: Proposed No Stopping, Mon – Fri, 8am – 6pm on School Entrance Markings.

  Recommendation: That the proposals are implemented as the Council received no objections to the implementation of these restrictions. These restrictions have been requested by the local Councillors, as parking in these locations obstructs visibility and creates a safety concern for children leaving and arriving at the school entrance. The current No Parking Between 8am – 6pm restriction still allows people to drop off and pick up in this location. This is considered to be unsafe. It is therefore recommended that these proposed No Stopping, Mon – Fri, 8am – 6pm on School Entrance Markings are implemented.

1.12  Restrictions as detailed on plan E11.

  Roads affected: South View Road, Caledonian Road, Denmark Road, and Stuart Place

  Restriction: Proposed No Waiting At Any Time markings.

  Recommendation: That the proposals are implemented as the Council received only 1 objection to the implementation of these restrictions and 1 comment of support in part. It was felt that the additional No Waiting At Any Time markings would further restrict the valuable and limited on-street parking availability in the area and lead to the migration of parking issues. These restrictions have been requested by the local Councillors, and approved by the area safety engineer as parking in these locations obstructs visibility and access. It is therefore recommended that these proposed No Waiting At Any Time markings are implemented.

1.13  Restrictions as detailed on plan E13.

  Roads affected: Third Avenue and Second Avenue

  Restriction: Proposed No Waiting At Any Time markings

  Recommendation: That the proposals are implemented. The Council received 2 objections to the implementation of these restrictions based on the limited available on-street parking stock and the pressures on local residents and the lack of current enforcement. These restrictions have been requested however by the local Councillors and agreed by the area safety engineer, as parking in these locations obstructs access. It is therefore recommended that these proposed restrictions are implemented.

  Restriction: Proposed No Waiting At Any Time markings

  Recommendation: That the proposals are modified. The Council received 4 objections to the implementation of these restrictions based on the limited available on-street parking stock and the pressures on local residents and no comments of support. These restrictions however have been requested by the local Councillors, as parking in these locations obstructs visibility and access. It is therefore recommended that these proposed restrictions are implemented in part around the junctions only of The Oval with Monksdale Road, Hazel Grove, Ash Grove, Chestnut Grove, Acacia Grove, Oak Avenue, Cedar Grove, Moorfield Road, and Beech Grove and Oak Avenue with Englishcombe Lane, to improve access and visibility for emergency and refuse vehicles.

1.16  Restrictions as detailed on plan F13 and F14.

  Roads affected: Bloomfield Avenue and Oldfield Road.

  Restriction: Proposed No Waiting At Any Time markings and No Waiting Between Mon – Fri, 8am – 6pm.

  Recommendation: That the proposals are modified. The Council received 4 objections to the implementation of these restrictions based on the limited available on-street parking stock and the pressures on local residents and 4 comments of support in part. A wish to include further restrictions on the opposite side of the highway was expressed but only those restrictions recommended can be considered. Additional restrictions must be considered through a further consultation process. These restrictions have been requested by the local Councillors, as parking in these locations obstructs visibility and access. It is therefore recommended that these proposed restrictions are implemented in part. It is recommended that the No Waiting At Any Time markings around the junction of Oldfield Road and Bloomfield Avenue are implemented to improve access and visibility for emergency and refuse vehicles. It is also recommended that the proposed No Waiting At Any Time markings on the north west and north east corners of Bloomfield Avenue as indicated on the plans F13 and F14 are implemented to improve access and visibility for emergency and refuse vehicles. It is also recommended that the No Waiting Between Mon-Fri, 8am-6pm on the western side of Bloomfield Avenue outside property number 42 is implemented as parking on both sides of this section of highway during peak periods causes an obstruction. It is recommended that the other two proposed sections of No Waiting Between Times markings are not implemented at this time due to the limited available on-street parking stock and objections from local residents.
