MOTION NO.16

MOTION: Councillor S. Barnes

That the Chief Executive consider the preference of residents in regards to the following. (Further to my Members Rep ID 1850660 in late 2024) it was agreed that single yellow lines would be painted on both sides of the entrance of Woodstock Estate, off Knocklyon Road. Whilst the residents are happy that SDCC has agreed to paint yellow lines to prevent cars parking and blocking access to their estate, they would prefer that double yellow lines be painted on the corner entering the estate and then for approx. 100 yards only along the entrance road. Some residents need to park on the entrance road and therefore do not want yellow lines on both sides. They don't want cars at the entrance, on the corner, which blocks larger vehicles, such as bin collection trucks and would also block a fire engine, if it needed to access the estate.

REPORT:  

Members Rep ID 1850660 was discussed in the Traffic Management Meeting (TMM), and it was agreed that yellow lines would be installed. A draft proposed road marking design has been shared with the members for their comments. SDCC welcome this feedback on the draft proposal.  Our traffic staff will be making contact with the elected members in the next number of weeks to discuss the details of preferred lining. Following these contacts, SDCC will make the necessary adjustments to the line marking design.  When a final line marking design is agreed by the elected members and residents, the yellow no parking road markings and signage will be installed as per the agreed design.
