Mr Mohammed presented the issue.
M Hoare, Assistant Director, Parking, advised the forum that Heatherdene Close was to be included within the CPZ review for 2022/23. The outcome of the consultation would then be communicated to residents.
The Vice-Chairman recommended that the resident submit a petition in relation to the issue, to add further weight. The resident advised that a petition had been submitted alongside the issue. The Governance Officer in attendance asked that the petition be forwarded to the Resident Forum email address for review.
Following the meeting, the Governance Officer clarified with the resident that the number of signatures did not yet meet the minimum requirement for a petition to be taken to the forum. However, advice was given on petitions and the options available.
The Vice-Chairman resolved to take no further action.
