Appendix AA:: Funding for new Traffic Regulation Orders

It is acknowledged that all requests for a parking restriction will carry some form of merit and may be beneficial to the particular area. The requests will be submitted for a variety of reasons and depending on the circumstance will be considered as a high or low funding priority to the Partnership. As the amount of funding available becomes limited it is the intention of the policy to provide a criteria, which if met, will be considered a high priority scheme for the Partnership and therefore stand a greater chance of receiving the available funding. Schemes that do not meet all the criteria can still be considered, agreed and progressed by the Joint Committee, but schemes with a higher priority will take precedence. All schemes will be subject to available funding.

There is currently sufficient funding for all the new requests in this report.

1.1.1. The Drive, Rochford Three requests have been received to extend the existing 8 metre length of junction protection (double yellow lines) to 20 metres in order to improve the sight lines.

A Technician has made several visits and consistently 6 – 7 vehicles have been observed parked in line 8 metres north of its junction with Malting Villas Road. The location of these vehicles does inhibit sight lines for on-coming vehicles in either direction. It is believed the parked vehicles belong to commuters and not residents.

The request was originally returned to Essex County Council in February 2013 as it was considered to be a safety issue, no further communication received at that time.

The latest request has been assessed by Essex County Council and it does not meet their safety or congestion criteria. In addition there have been no recorded accidents at this location.

The request does not meet the South Essex Parking Partnership policy criteria for providing parking restrictions, however Rochford District Council Officers have recommended the matter is placed before the South Essex Parking Partnership Sub Committee for funding to progress an amendment to the Traffic Regulation Order.

A scheme has been costed to provide the required Traffic Regulation Order and progress to formal consultation. It is estimated at £1100 - £1300.

2.2.2. Hutton Road, ShenfieldShenfield,, Brentwood Local Ward Councillors have requested that all residential driveways, currently within a permitted parking place (Limited Waiting), are protected by a double yellow line to stop vehicles blocking residents’ driveways.

In order to provide the above request, each parking place will need to be signed. This will lead to a new post & plate for each parking place.

The Lead Councillor has recommended the matter is placed before the South Essex Parking Partnership Sub Committee for funding to progress an amendment to the Traffic Regulation Order.

SEPP Policy ––– 7.7 Obstruction of driveway (difficulty getting on and of driveway)

• If a vehicle is parked across an approved dropped kerb and obstructing the driveway a Civil Enforcement Officer (CEO) can issue a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) for obstruction of a dropped kerb , provided the vehicle is not parked in a designated parking place. Enforcement of this type will only take place if the resident of the property reports the obstruction to the SEPP. • A white H bar marking can be placed on the highway indicating the access to the driveway. This type of marking is advisory only. The SEPP will offer this option to residents – it is optional and is chargeable to the customer. • In all cases Essex Police is the responsible authority to deal with obstructions of the highway and have the necessary powers to remove vehicles that are considered to cause an obstruction.

Please note the above does not apply in this instance because the Local Authority have deemed it to be a parking place from Monday to Friday between the hours of 8am to 6pm (Waiting is limited to 1 hour, no return within 3 hours).

Some of the residential driveways within the parking place have been marked out with a white H-Bar road marking.

The results of the informal consultation are:- Number of properties = 118 Number of responses = 99 Number in favour of changing to a permit parking scheme = 81 Number in favour of keeping the existing single yellow line = 18

16. Hutton Mount, Brentwood ––– Herington Grove, Greenway & Mount AvenAvenueueueue

The above roads are “private streets” and are not maintained at public expense; however, all three roads currently have a parking restriction (single yellow line) which operates from Monday to Friday between the hours of 9am to 5pm. Hutton Mount Ltd, the managing agents for the estate have requested the South Essex Parking Partnership amend the parking restrictions to include a Saturday and

Sunday, 11am to Noon, parking restriction to deter shoppers using these roads to park when travelling by train to London. Additionally Hutton Mount Ltd would like the current parking restrictions in Mount Avenue extended to its junction with Hillwood Grove.

The estimated cost of providing the necessary Traffic Regulation Order, new signage and additional yellow lines, plus more signage to the existing restriction is £9000 - £9500. The South Essex Parking Partnership will not fund this request.

Hutton Mount Ltd has agreed to fund the initial proposal (the publication), estimated at approximately £750, to gauge what objections are received during the formal consultation period. If there are no, or a minimal number, of objections and the proposal is to proceed, then Hutton Mount Ltd will fund the remainder of the work.

The request is for the Sub Committee to agree Technician time on the above proposal.
