Etnam Street & Pinsley Road, Leominster: Proposed Introduction of Parking Restrictions and extension of Residents' Parking

Decision Maker: Assistant director environment and place (Historic)

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

After receiving a formal request from the Local Member, who had received representations from local residents, proposals were drawn up for the introduction of parking restrictions. After discussions and resident consultations the final proposals look to introduce a prohibition of waiting, loading and unloading at any time in order to combat the regular habitual parking of vehicles on the footways adjacent to the two pedestrian crossings and alongside the built out footway to the west of the junction with Falconer Street that is hampering visibility and passage to through traffic in each of these areas. The proposals are depicted on the enclosed plans HD/T/LEO/1652/2a and HD/T/LEO/1652/3a (Appendix B and C to this report).

 

In addition, a request has also been received from the residents of the Coach House, located on the spur road off Pinsley Road, asking that consideration be given to the introduction of additional parking restrictions and an extra residents’ permit parking bay to be included into Zone LF as shown on the enclosed plan HD/T/LEO/1652/1a (Appendix D to this report).

Reasons for the decision:

After receiving a formal request from the Local Member, who had received representations from local residents, proposals were drawn up for the introduction of parking restrictions. After discussions and resident consultations the final proposals look to introduce a prohibition of waiting, loading and unloading at any time in order to combat the regular habitual parking of vehicles on the footways adjacent to the two pedestrian crossings and alongside the built out footway to the west of the junction with Falconer Street that is hampering visibility and passage to through traffic in each of these areas. The proposals are depicted on the enclosed plans HD/T/LEO/1652/2a and HD/T/LEO/1652/3a (Appendix B and C to this report).

In addition, a request has also been received from the residents of the Coach House, located on the spur road off Pinsley Road, asking that consideration be given to the introduction of additional parking restrictions and an extra residents’ permit parking bay to be included into Zone LF as shown on the enclosed plan HD/T/LEO/1652/1a (Appendix D to this report).

These restrictions will preserve and improve the amenities of the area through which the road runs.

 

Alternative options considered:

That the proposed parking restrictions are not implemented and the existing unregulated parking at the junctions is retained.
