AN UPDATE on the borough-wide parking management action plan was requested by a resident.
Peter Must told the executive meeting, held on Thursday, March 31, that back in September 2019, the council announced the review, which would then lead to a full public consultation.
He asked Cllr Pauline Jorgensen, executive member for highways and transport, for more details.
She said the planned review had been suspended due to the impact of the covid pandemic on parking demand.
Despite this, a pilot project was undertaken in Twyford, while supplementary studies have also taken place, and the results are being assessed.
As a result, “commuter parking, resident parking zones and permit policy and greater, daytime on-street parking demands by those now working from home more frequently can be considered,” Cllr Jorgensen said.
A review of off-street car parks was also carried out, with changes now progressing through the systems, while a revised action plan will be consulted on in the autumn.
In response, Mr Must asked how the consultation would be run.
Cllr Jorgensen said that it would be like any other consultation, including using libraries and websites to canvas residents’ views.
