Review results of consultation from the Parking Review PDF 65 KB Minutes: Speakers Steve Honeywill – Torbay Care Trust Frank Sobey – Harbour Sports, Paignton Colin Hurst
Officers presented the feedback received from the Community partnerships and any individuals/groups who had responded separately since the 5th September public Transport Working Party meeting. The feedback included an analysis of the responses considered against each road/location as receiving low, medium or high levels of objection by the residents and businesses.
Steve Honeywell presented to the Transport Working Party as the representative for the Care Trust/NHS on the proposal to extend meters into Nicholson Road, Torquay. Concerns were raised on the likely impact on community nursing staff and visitors to Bay House. Members debated the issue of parking passes for nursing/social care staff on call and requested officers review the current arrangements for on call workers to enable them to travel around the bay whilst visiting clients.
Frank Sobey presented to the Transport Working Party representing Harbour Sports Paignton. Mr Sobey’s concerns included the conflict which the meter proposals had between Tourism and raising funding for the Council. There was a suggestion of providing the first hour free to encourage people to visit Paignton. Mr Sobey was against any meters being installed at Roundham Road and the surrounding area. |

Identify recommendations to go forward to Council Minutes: The TWP considered each road in turn and resolved to recommend the following to Full Council on 31st October having reviewed all the consultation presented.
The option to open the Paignton Esplanade in the summer as a parking area providing barrier access was considered not appropriate as this is seen as a promenade. Concern for children’s safety was debated. This suggestion was rejected, and to keep current restrictions in operation.
It was agreed for officers to consider and cost the option of providing additional parking provision for Torquay Museum at the rear of the Harbour (Terrace) Car Park for the Museum visitors. |
