To consider the representations including objections to the proposed Hereford Resident’ Parking Order 2017 and to authorise the making of the Order either in full as per the Notice of Proposal, to modify the proposed Order (provided that the modification is not a substantial change) or to abandon the proposals. The Council also has the ability to make the Order in part and for the remaining proposals to which the Order relates to either be abandoned, deferred or make an order or orders giving effect to the remaining proposals in whole or part.

This project developed from consultation over the programme of Hereford City Centre Improvements and concerns over the displacement of parking into neighbouring areas. The Council proposes restrictions in the form of new, or extended resident parking zones/restrictions in six wards, supported by no waiting and no waiting at any time restrictions.

Following objections from the initial public consultation, supplementary consultations were also carried out for Broomy Hill, Court Crescent, Gwynne Street, Walmer Street and various roads as part of the extended Zone 15 proposals in College Road in accordance with legislation. The supplementary consultations helped form the bases of the proposed Order.
