NPDC Monitoring Committee meeting this coming Tuesday



The Carrington Street parking prohibition issue is back up before the Monitoring Committee this coming Tuesday, 23rd September at 4.30 pm.

The compromise being put forward by the Roading Assets team is that two 120 min car parks are allowed outside No. 44 Carrington Street. This is where the road is at its widest in the section that the full council agreed back in August to have full parking restrictions imposed.


Subsequent publicity by the rest home owners have made the Roading Assets team re-look at what can be provided in on-street parking plus allow cycle lanes down this narrow stretch of road.

Two options are recommended to be considered in the preparation of the 2009/2019 Long-Term Council Community Plan (LTCCP) for work in the future:

  • Construction of 3 inset parallel parking bays south of the rest home.

  • Widening of Carrington St for 170 m on the east side opposite the rest home so that kerbside parking and cycle lanes can be provided.

Both of which will be costly to construct.
