PARKING STRATEGY Mervyn Bartlett provided the Committee with an update in relation to the Parking Strategy. Local Residents raised the following concerns - Would Hackbridge be included in phase 1 The phases are taking a long time, can specific areas be given immediate attention The surveys were sent out just before Christmas, which may have resulted in the poor returns 1 Agenda Item 4 Page 2 St. Helier, The Wrythe and Wandle Valley Local Committee 8 March 2018 Mervyn Bartlett informed the Committee that the plan had since been updated, but that the whole of the local committee area is being looked at, including Hackbridge. It was confirmed that all parking issues would be examined and dealt with using the same general approach as would be adopted right across the borough. Data would be looked at carefully and it is anticipated that specific proposals would be submitted back to the local committee at a later date. Based on experience elsewhere the rate of responses to the surveys was considered good. The Chair commented that there is a process to follow and any further delays in accumulating data would delay the process even more. The Committee noted the update. 35.

Shaftesbury Road - motor-cycle theft, police action not having an impact. Sgt Burgess informed the Committee that he take up the issues that have been raised, but he is unable to provide any assurances in relation to specific issues raised e.g. motor-cycle theft, as he will need to get to the causes of it and target individuals. There are ongoing operations in the area and he is working within the legal system, but changes are coming to the force’s policies which will assist this process and a number of concerns are being monitored currently. Councillor Reynolds informed the Committee that a mechanism was being put in place to stop bikers going across Polters Park. The Committee noted the update. 36.
