Appendix C
Proposed orders receiving objections to Waiting restrictions variation No 13 and Designated Parking Places Variation No 8.
MAIDSTONE; Upper Stone Street;
1 objection was received on the grounds that the imposition of a 24 hour restriction would have a significant detrimental impact upon the business in the area, in both in terms of the delivery of supplies and also impact upon customers and patrons of the business. It will therefore have a direct influence on customer levels; the dispersion of vehicles into other street would also have a detrimental effect on the nearby residential streets.
Recommendation: To recommend to the Cabinet Member not to proceed with the proposal.

MAIDSTONE; Woodville Road;
1 Objection was received on the grounds that the proposal to create a 24hr restriction would have a detrimental influence on the residents and visitors. Although residents appreciate the possible need to restrict parking they do not feel it necessary to restrict the whole length of road.
Recommendation: To recommend to the Cabinet Member to amend the proposal to reflect the views expressed and amend the order to;
North side, From its junction with Loose Road for a distance of 12 metres in a westerly direction, South Side, From its junction with Loose Road to the property boundary of number 3 to ensure free flow and the impediment of sightlines, with the single yellow line restrictions remaining operational between 9am – 5pm Mon-Fri.

RESIDENTS PARKING
MAIDSTONE; Albert Street, Alexandra Street, Fisher Street, Penenden Street, Perry Street, Perryfield Street, Randall Street, Sandling Road, Scott Street.
Amend the current waiting limit from 2 hours to 30 minutes in the roads above.
4 objections were received to the reduction in the waiting times in the Residents Parking Bays from 2 hours to 30 minutes, on the grounds that the current 2 hour permitted daytime parking allows visitors to park and complete their visit as well as short term parking to local amenities. The reduction in waiting times will have a direct affect on the residents and their visitors and may merely move the parking further into the town centre and impact on town centre traders, increasing traffic to out of town outlets.
Recommendation: To recommend to the Cabinet Member not to proceed with the proposal.
