Residents' Parking Schemes

Formal public consultation for the proposed Silverdale Road and Cawte Road Residents' Parking Schemes begun last week.

A traffic regulation order was published on 28th November. Notices will go up on lamp posts and an advert in the Echo to advise of the formal consultation period. This ends on 7th January. It’s been slightly extended to take account of the Christmas holiday period.

Assuming all goes well the scheme is set to be implemented by the end of March.

Copies of the plans can we obtained from the Highways and Parking Services Department on 8083 2337.

Residents Parking

The results of the recent residents parking surveys in Silverdale and Cawte Road were as follows:

Silverdale

74.4% of residents favoured a residents parking scheme for the whole road, operating 8am - 6pm, Monday to Saturday, with 2 permits available.

Cawte

79.2% of residents favoured a residents parking scheme operating 8am - 6pm, Monday to Saturday. 2/3rds of residents also favoured additional restrictions in the evenings.

Freemantle's councillors will therefore be pushing the council to implement these schemes as soon as possible. There will be a further chance for residents to object once the plans are formally drawn up and put out for consultation.

Residents Parking

Surveys of residents' views on parking schemes in Silverdale Road and Cawte Road were carried out a couple of months ago.

I am told by council officers that the reults have been analysed and that there is overwhelming support for introducing schemes in these two roads.

I will post an update on this when I have all the facts and figures and after I have been briefed on the matter.

Residents Parking

This week the Council is planning to send out two surveys about possible residents parking schemes in Freemantle Ward: Silverdale Road and Cawte Road.

These surveys were due to be out by the end of March however there have been delays, in part due to concern about getting the wording right.

I am very sorry about the delay. Have been putting a great of pressure on the council to get these matters sorted as they are well overdue.

Planning Meeting 30th January

The next meeting of the Planning and Rights of Way Panel is on Tuesday 30th January.

There are 2 application in Freemantle Ward; one in Waterloo Road and one in Cawte Road. I have objected to both.
