Summary

To advise Members of any objections to the Cherwell District Council (Off-Street Parking Places) (Banbury, Bicester and Kidlington) Order advertised on 4 August 2011 and to seek authority to make the Order subject to any objections received.

Recommendations

The Executive is recommended:

(1)               To receive and deal with any objections to the Order (these will be tabled at the meeting).

(2)               To authorise formal Order Making on final proposals for implementation on, or as soon after, 11 November 2011 as is practicable.

Recommendations approved

The Head of Safer Communities, Urban and Rural Services submitted a report which advised Members of any objections to the Cherwell District Council (Off-Street Parking Places) (Banbury, Bicester and Kidlington) Order advertised on 4 August 2011 and to seek authority to make the Order subject to any objections received.

The Deputy Leader advised Executive that fourteen responses had been received via the consultation portal comprising both objections and approvals to each of the proposals. He reported that none of the objections were sufficiently strong to recommend any amendments to the proposals and these would therefore be introduced on, or as soon after, 11 November 2011 as practicable. The Deputy Leader confirmed that all changes would be publicised.

Councillor Sibley, Leader of the Labour Group, sought clarification about the consultation process. The Leader and Deputy Leader of the Council confirmed that the correct legal processes had been followed and the statutory requirements for the consultation met.

Resolved

(1)               That the responses to the Order be noted.

(2)               That formal Order Making on final proposals for implementation on, or as soon after, 11 November 2011 as is practicable be authorised.

Reasons

Subject to any objections received to the Order Notice; the Executive dealing with these objections; and the required implementation works being carried out, the proposals will be implemented on or as soon after 11 November 2011.
