The Traffic Regulation Orders Sub Committee (TRO SC) approved new parking restrictions at the ‘loop’ in Rankin Drive on 12 May. There had been substantial local resident objection tabled at the outset when the proposals were published and consulted upon in late February / early March. GPCC tabled then a measured objection. GPCC asked for an equitable and proportionate reduction in the scale of the intended restrictions against the highly-impactful published proposals.
At the TRO SC on 12 May, the objections were not raised as a matter for discussion at all, notwithstanding their number and relevance. Local resident reaction to the outcome continues to build. GPCC has raised with local Elected Councillors some questions on the nature of the TRO SC procedure at the 12 May meeting.
