Issue - decisions

Decision made and reasons:

1.    To engage consultants to undertake a statutory consultation on the proposal to introduce no waiting at any time restrictions on Station Road, Hemel Hempstead from the junction of the Plough roundabout to the junction with Cotterells.

2.    To delegate the decision to implement the proposal, if applicable, to the Assistant Director Legal & Democratic Services Council in consultation with the Portfolio Holder for Corporate & Contracted Services.

The reason for the decision is to deter inappropriate parking by commuters to the town centre and by local residents whose addresses do not qualify for a residents parking permit to park within the ‘C’ or ‘K’ Controlled Parking Zones.

Having considered the duty imposed under section 122 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, It appears to the local authority that it is necessary and expedient to make an Order in the interests of:

·         avoiding danger to persons or other traffic using the road or any other road or for preventing the likelihood of any such danger arising

·         facilitating the passage on the road or any other road of any class of traffic (including pedestrians)
