Agenda item

To receive and consider the report of the Operations Manager.

The Committee received and considered the report of the Operations Manager concerning misuse of amenity land in Manor Road.

Members were disappointed amenity land was being parked on in this area and discussed various ways to prevent it. A sign would likely be ineffective, leaving the suggestion of bollards, knee rail or metal fence. Each of the latter, however, was likely to be more expensive than wooden bollards.

The Committee agreed the most cost-effective solution should be trialled in the area to see whether it was a successful before agreeing to installing at other areas with similar issues in the future.

Recommended:

1.      That, the report be noted and;

2.      That, preventative measures be taken at this site with the most cost-effective solution being delegated to officers and;

3.      That, the installation be reviewed and that similar sites are considered on a case-by-case basis in the meantime.
