AFFECTED CHARNWOOD, COLEMAN AND SPINNEY HILLS FORWARD TIMETABLE OF
CONSULTATION AND MEETINGS: Development Control Sub-Committee 15th
June 2004 THE LEICESTER TRAFFIC REGULATION (ST SAVIOURS ROAD
AREA)(AMENDMENT) ORDER 2004 SUPPORTING INFORMATION 1. Report 1.1 In
December 2003 the Service Director, Highways and Transportation
approved the proposals in principle the making of the above Traffic
Regulation Order, the effect of which will be to amend existing
waiting restrictions as part of the review of traffic restrictions
in Leicester City. 1.2 All legal procedures in connection with the
Order have been completed. Following public advertisement of the
proposals one objection was received. The objector was invited to
attend an objector’s meet to be held on Tuesday 18th May
2004. The objector was unable to attend the meeting and his written
objections have been considered herewith. The objector was
concerned about the proposal to mark a “no waiting at any
time” restriction outside his shop on St. Saviour’s
Road and the way in which it would affect his business. There is
already a daytime waiting restriction operational along the area of
the road concerned. The traffic officer considered the
objector’s request not to place additional waiting
restrictions in front of the premises but this was not found to be
feasible for the following reasons. The stretch of St Saviours Road
immediately outside the property is on a tight bend, opposite the
junction with Hillcroft Road and covers a pedestrian crossing
facility located there. It was noted during the course of survey
work that vehicles parked immediately outside the premises caused
oncoming vehicles to negotiate the bend on the wrong side of the
carriageway without a direct line of sight into the carriageway
ahead. St Saviours Road is also a bus route and there remains a
requirement to keep the road clear for the operation of buses. It
is considered that the nature of the junction justifies the
imposition of the restriction proposed due to St Saviours Road
being a busy route that serves industrial, light commercial and
residential properties. Furthermore, the no waiting at any time
restriction that is proposed along this stretch of St.
Saviour’s Road does not limit loading activity. Provided
loading and/or unloading activity is taking place, vehicles remain
free to service the shops located in the area when stationary on
the restricted area. 1.4 In conclusion I would recommend that the
objection be overruled, and that the proposals proceed. All legal
procedures appertaining to traffic regulation orders stipulated
within the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 have been adhered to.
FINANCIAL, LEGAL AND OTHER IMPLICATIONS 1. Financial Implications
Please see attached report dated 24th December 2003. 2. Legal
Implications Traffic Regulation Orders are introduced under the
1984 Road Traffic Regulation Act and the Local Authorities' Traffic
Orders (Procedures)(England and Wales) Regulations 1996. All
aspects of that legislation have been complied with. 3. Background

WARDS AFFECTED: 24 December 2003 CHARNWOOD, COLEMAN, SPINNEY
HILLS Report for consideration by Service Director Highways and
Transportation NEW LEICESTER TRAFFIC REGULATION ORDER, ST.
SAVIOUR’S ROAD AREA Report of the Traffic Group Manager
Purpose of Report To seek authorisation to commence the statutory
procedures required to amend the existing waiting restrictions in
the St. Saviour’s Road area as part of the review of traffic
restrictions in Leicester City. Summary 2.1 As part of the ongoing
review of traffic regulation orders in the City work has commenced
in the St. Saviour’s Road area. It is intended to consolidate
the existing restrictions into the New Leicester Traffic Regulation
Order, together with any changes considered appropriate. 3.
Recommendations 3.1 That the Director approves the proposal in
principle; authorises officers to commence the statutory
procedures; and if objections are received, that a further report
be submitted. 4. Financial and Legal Implications The cost of
amending the traffic regulatio
Minutes:
The Monitoring Officer submitted a report that drew
together various strands of work relating to standards and ethical
governance for Members.
The Head of Democratic Services commented that there was a
lot of work currently in progress with regard to Standards and
Ethical Governance. In reference to Appendix one in the report the
Head of Democratic Services mentioned that a number of changes that
had been suggested had been implemented already. A table in the report listing the work being done
in relation to Standards and Ethical Governance was referred
to.
The Chair queried whether the Code of Conduct training was
compulsory for Members. A Member of the Committee stated that the
training should be compulsory as Members had to sign the Code of
Conduct and queried how could the Code of Conduct be signed if they
had not undertaken the training.
The Chair commented that it should be decided that if
someone became a Councillor then they would have to undertake
training. A Member of the Committee stated that most new
Councillors would be willing to undertake the training. The Chair
suggested that the report be brought back and see if Code of
Conduct training could be made compulsory. A Member of the
Committee suggested that the recommendations be taken to Whips. The
Chair commented that if compulsory training was brought in, the
enforceability and what would happen if individuals did not
undertake the training would have to be looked into. (Amended following 12 November 2008
meeting): The Chair stated that, as it was difficult to enforce
attendance at training, Members should be encouraged as far as
possible to take part in training on a voluntary basis. The
Monitoring Officer commented that he would look into the issue and
see if could be included in the Political Conventions.
RESOLVED:
1)
that Members note the
recommendations to form the Council’s CPA report relating to
the Standards Committee.
2)
that Members note the
“Good Governance in Local Government” action plan
summary containing items relating to the Standards
Committee.
