Parking petition to be discussed by Wokingham decision-making Executive
Petitioners calling for double yellow lines in a narrow Woodley cul-de-sac could be a step nearer their goal if Wokingham Borough Council’s decision making executive backs the move this month.
All but one of the 14 households in Ravensbourne Drive have backed a call for the parking restrictions along the length of the road and the Wokingham Borough Council highways consultative board has recommended the executive launch a formal consultation on the issue. If no objections are received it is recommended that the parking restriction order be granted.
The petition calls for the restrictions because the narrowness of the cul-de-sac means that any cars parking in it make it difficult to reach some homes; causing cars to mount the kerb and making access for emergency vehicles dangerously difficult.
Executive member for Wokingham highways and transport Cllr Anthony Pollock, said: “I am pleased the executive is to look at this issue as it is obviously something the residents feel strongly about and, if cars parking in that road could delay access for emergency services and cause an unnecessary nuisance to residents, the council will try to deal with the problem.”
The Wokingham Borough Council’s executive committee will discuss the request for parking restriction at its meeting on Thursday March 29.
