Issue - meetings

i)             Minute 19 – Parking and Traffic Issues on Evington Road

Regulations meant that there was a five-minute observation time prior to issuing a penalty ticket. Councillors stated they would check if this was still the case or if they could now be issued immediately.

Residents said there was illegal parking on double yellow lines on Devana Road which were causing problems. Residents also reported problems with cars parking outside of primary schools. The Police had said more Traffic Enforcement Officers were required, and an informal discussion had taken place at the top of Evington Road, where drivers parked across pavements. The Chair said incidents should be reported formally to the police for action.

A resident asked if any observations had taken place outside Mayflower School and Evington Valley School. The Chair said all issues had been raised with the City mayor, and would be looked at as part of the 20mph work taking place across the city.
