All agreed that the minutes were an accurate record of the meeting.

KM ran through the actions recorded at the last meeting. 

KM reminded all members to report any problematic roads to himself, MM or Officers to review any solutions that may be able to be considered.

KM advised that the proposal within the agenda pack is being brought to this meeting as it has been discussed at previous meetings to resolve the ongoing issue at Ilsham Marine Drive.

CL raised that there are other areas in the Bay that have issues and believes that there needs to be a bay wide approach and not just a solution found for this one area.

KM is aware that there are other areas with issues similar to this and solutions will be looked to be found to be introduced into all areas within the Bay but this is the first area to be looked at. 

IJ gave an update of the proposals for implementing to look to resolve the parking issue at Ilsham Marine Drive. All options will result in displacement of vehicles to other areas. The officer recommendation is to implement pay and display parking into the area. 

SH advised the options for any enforcement overnight would be very limited especially when they are resources issues. NB gave his feedback on all options that are being proposed. NB advised that the main complaint being received from residents is the fact that the campervans are parking in the area for months at a time and no action is being taken.

NB believes option 2 would be the best option to be implemented with alteration made to the suggested hours from 9 pm until 7 am and JO’D agreed with this. AB commented that she believes it could be an idea to alter the hours to 10 pm until 7 am.  

KM reminded all that the working party does not make decisions, but the feedback understood from today is that option 2 is the favourable option with alterations made to the proposed hours.

This decision will be discussed further between KM, AD and MM as cabinet member and will then be processed via the correct governance process.

IJ advised that the normal timeframe is considered as around 17 weeks but this can be longer if there are objections to the order, or if there is a delay with the supply of signs and carriageway marking works. However if the proposal can be advertised in conjunction with other work that will be taking place in nearby areas, this may help to speed up the process.

KM updated that there has been email correspondence received from a member of the public regarding this ongoing situation and using section 77 legislation. Dave Parsons has joined the meeting and provided an update on work that is carried out by the Community Protection team and the relevant legislation that they use in certain situations.
