(b) To enable residents of all homes within the streets (or parts thereof) listed above and in certain flanking homes as indicated to apply for permits.

(c) To provide a road marking regime across the zone which retains existing disabled bays and that typically places resident permit holder bays at those kerbsides where parking is generally suitable and places single yellow lines matching the EQ CPZ hours at crossovers and other kerbsides not generally suitable as communal parking positions and that places double yellow lines at junctions and other strategic locations to prohibit obstructive parking at any time.

(d) To place waiting restrictions operating between 11am and noon on Mondays to Sundays inclusive at sections of currently uncontrolled kerbside in the eastern part of Queensway.

(f) To introduce one way working to the following sections of street: all of Colwell Crescent; all of Ediswan Way except its southern cul-de-sac; and the western section of College Court Road that connects Ediswan Way back to Colwell Crescent; such that traffic, excepting cycles, would only be able to circulate this loop in the counter-clockwise direction and that entry for motor vehicles would be prohibited at any of the three positions where correctly circulating traffic would be emerging out of the three streets described.

1. The effect of the Residents’ Parking Places Traffic Order would be to:

(a) Designate residents’ parking places in the listed streets that shall be operational during the EQ CPZ hours on all days (except Christmas Day, Good Friday or bank holidays) and at which charges may be made by the Council for vehicles authorised by the Order to occupy those parking places.

(b) Specify that the vehicles which may be left in the residents’ parking places shall be those displaying either a valid residents’ permit, community health staff permit, social services staff permit, special permit, carers’ permit or visitors parking card issued by the Council or its authorised agent as set out in the relevant Order.

(c) Provide that the charge for the issue of a residents’ permit would be as per the schedule of annual charges in the table below, and that the residents’ permit, and all other annual permits, would be valid for a period of 12 months running from the beginning of the month in which it first becomes valid, and that the set of homes whose residents may apply for permits is as the list set out above at 2a&b.

Permit Charges Table

(d) Provide that the annual charge for the issue of a community health staff permit or a social services staff permit would be £25.
