TRO-15-2017 Hartington Road-Double Yellow Lines on Legal Crossovers

We the undersigned petition Brighton & Hove Council to Allow residents in Hartington Road with Legal Crossovers to park across their drives without incurring a parking fine.

a. People will lose the right to park in front of their drive, even with a disabled badge, although parking restrictions will be limited to 2 hours per day, Monday to Friday.
b. There are about 30 house with legal crossover in Hartington Road, starting from the cemetery entrance up to the top of the road. The loss of these places will put additional pressure on the parking in the street, especially at weekends.
c. Introduction of the new restrictions will inevitably mean more people will build crossovers, which will add to the pressure.

NOTE
1. At the moment the single white lines painted across legal crossovers work very well and there is no reason to believe that this will change with the introduction of the controlled parking zone.
2. In order to maximise its revenue the council could consider allowing people to park over their crossovers for a fee, by issuing permits specific to a particular address.

This ePetition ran from 22/05/2017 to 26/06/2017 and has now finished.

95 people signed this ePetition.

Council response

Response provided by the Chair of the Environment, Transport & Sustainability Committee at their meeting on 27 June 2017:

“Thank you for your petition and I do appreciate the concerns regarding this matter.
However, it is a legal requirement to have parking restrictions covering every part of the highway within a resident parking scheme during the controlled hours.
Therefore, it is proposed that double yellow lines will be placed across all legal dropped kerbs to ensure access to and from the off street provision is kept clear at all times.
Any resident that now applies for a crossover would need to meet the requirements of the Council’s policy which is stricter within a resident parking scheme as it is based on the consideration of the loss of on-street parking”.
