(b) on Porchester Square, the southern arm:

(i) on the north-west side, formally extend the double yellow line “at any time” waiting restrictions at the junction with Porchester Road north-eastward by 15 metres, replacing three pay-by-phone bays opposite The Colonnades, No. 34; and

(ii) on the south-east side, introduce a tank rank outside

The Colonnades, No. 34, replacing 15 metres of single yellow line waiting restrictions; and

(c) on Queensway, the south-east side of the north-east to south-west arm:

(i) opposite the Porchester Centre:

(A) relocate the residents’ parking place south-westward by 6 metres and extend its total length to 15 metres, replacing a “Blue Badge” disabled persons’ parking place; and
