The proposals were advertised in a Public Notice in the Herald Express on 13^th December 2023, an initial consultation period of 21 days was provided for members of the public to submit any objections to the proposals, notices were also placed out on site, this consultation period was then extended for a further 14 days to allow sufficient time for residents to fully review the proposed scheme.

Objections were received and reviewed by the Cabinet Member for Pride in Place and Parking on 14^th May 2024. The objections focused on the loading bay, Highways Officers confirmed that the restriction was formally required to allow parking enforcement to take place. Following consideration of the letters of objections, Cabinet Member for Pride in Place and Parking confirmed that he supported the highways recommendation to the Director of Pride in Place to implement as advertised.
