Agenda item

The Area Council Manager introduced the item, referring to a recent workshop where Members had discussed the use of income from the issuing of Fixed Penalty Notices and Parking Charge Notices.

A number of schemes had been discussed, and two were put forward within the Rockingham Ward, with a further scheme in Wombwell.

The schemes within the Rockingham Ward involved the installation of bollards, one at Longsfield Crescent in Hoyland and the other on Parkside Road, in order to prevent cycle and motorcycle access.  The cost of both schemes was expected to be £3,535.65.

The scheme in Wombwell involved implementing a Traffic Regulation Order, and installing relevant lining and signage outside Wombwell Cricket Club.  It was thought that this would help to stop inconsiderate parking.  The cost of this was likely to be in the region of £4,000.

RESOLVED: - that £3,535.65 and £4,000 be allocated to the schemes detailed in the report submitted within the Rockingham and Wombwell Wards respectively; and that authority be given to the Interim Executive Director, Communities to initiate the necessary action to implement the schemes.
