Decisions:
The Director for Development and Regeneration submitted a written report indicating that the Customer and Communities Overview and Scrutiny Panel had recommended a review of the traffic management arrangements for Plymouth Argyle match days (minute 59 of the panel refers).
The report indicated that -
|
(a) |
a full pre season review of the traffic management arrangement had been undertaken in July/August 2010, following a change in policing arrangements;
|
|
(b) |
the Council’s responsibilities extended only to the management of the public highway, whilst the football club managed the car park and arrangements for the management of the car park perimeter road were decided between the police and the football club;
|
|
(c)
|
the performance of the traffic management arrangements had been monitored during the opening weeks of the 2010/11 football season and adjustments had been made to the traffic signals during this time. The plan had been judged to have been successful although the time taken to clear the car park had increased to approximately 30 minutes;
|
|
(d)
|
the current arrangement would be reviewed following the 2010/11 season and after the new car park junction was installed as part of the Plymouth Life Centre works which would provide a ‘fit for purpose’ junction enabling better traffic management. |
In response to a question from Cabinet Members, Clive Perkin (Assistant Director for Transport) indicated that it was his intention to increase the deployment of the camera car to address illegally parked cars around schools.
Agreed that no further review of the traffic management arrangements is undertaken until the new car park junction, part of the Plymouth Life Centre development, has been completed in 2011.
