The submissions received were primarily from residents of Monastery Park and Drive. These submissions were overwhelmingly against the introduction of pay and display parking in their estate. It is worth noting that the initial submission received from the Monastery Estate Residents Association (MERA) during the initial public consultation held in 2020 specifically requested such measures, however this request has been reframed in a new submission citing no need for such measures.
A number of the submissions received requested double yellow lines and free residents permits. This is not possible under legislation i.e. Double Yellow Lines do not permit parking at any time. Similarly, residential permits are only provided, for a fee, in areas where Pay and Display parking is enforced.
Executive Recommendation:
The Executive recommends that pay and display NOT be introduced at this location
The Traffic Section will examine the issues regarding the request for Double Yellow lines and a report in this regard will be brought to an early Traffic Management meeting.
