Scheme progression
If schemes meet the minimum requirements as set out above they will be considered against the other successful schemes, taking into account the resources available, the practical implications of introduction and the assessed level of need for the scheme. A list of schemes that will be taken forward to formal consultation will be drawn up annually.
This criteria will ensure that the schemes that are assessed by Traffic Engineers and progressed are the ones that are most likely to succeed and in the area where the problems have the greatest impact on the local community.
This officer will look to spend a very limited budget to provide resident parking schemes in the most needy situations. These schemes will need to be of sufficient size and address a need that is influenced by an outside pressure. We will add your request to this list.
If the minimum essential criteria has been evidenced and met then the viability of the scheme will be ranked on a need assessment and financial costs
- Starting at the top, as many schemes as possible with the funding available are introduced that year
- Unsuccessful schemes are kept on file for consideration the next year.
- Schemes that do not pass the legal process are archived
