Decision details

The New Communities portfolio holder

AGREED        that the Council should respond to the consultation by the County Council, as laid out in the report, namely:

A)     South Cambridgeshire District Council supports the proposed prohibition of waiting of commercial vehicles in various streets in Histon and Impington.

B)    However, the Council would request careful monitoring following implementation of the waiting restrictions to ensure there is no knock-on effect, either elsewhere within Histon and Impington or in other villages along the strategic road network.

C)    The Council would also stress the urgency for a clear strategy for managing driver breaks for lorries using the strategic road network and the development of suitable alternative parking provision to avoid the displacement of commercial vehicles onto other streets in villages, particularly those along the A14 corridor.
