OUTSTANDING QUESTIONS
Q Where there any plans to provide additional car parking spaces following the sale of part of the land which had been used as a car park behind Champion Hire on Abbeydale Rd.
R Awaiting response
Q Could the Council give consideration to the installation of a pedestrian crossing at the junction of Osbourne Road and Sheldon Road?
R Awaiting response
Q Could the Council give consideration to problems being experienced by residents living on Cowlishaw Road, who, due to the lack of on-street parking, were often unable to park near their homes?
R This mater has been referred to officers in Highways section responsible for the design of the proposed Sharrow Residents Parking scheme who would be requested to provide the Area Co-ordinator with details as to exactly where the Sharrow/Nether Edge Car Parking Scheme extended to. It was accepted that with all Residents Car Parking Schemes, those residents living on the periphery of such schemes would experience problems with regard to car parking due to displacement.
Q When would the responsibility for dealing with car parking offences be transferred from the Police to the City Council?
R It is proposed that such responsibilities would be transferred with effect from 1st April, 2005.
Q There was an absence of a coherent policy for promoting and implementing designated safe local walking routes within Sheffield localities. Had the Council any plans for producing such a policy?
R Awaiting response
Q There were inadequate and insufficient infrastructure measures for safe crossing points and routes for schools, residential homes, parks and footpaths. Had the Council got any plans for introducing such measures?
R Awaiting response
Q Could the Council produce a clearly stated, published criteria for prioritising cost effective safe routes for vulnerable road users, traffic calming and road safety schemes, in the context of highway expenditure budgets?
R Awaiting response
Q How many “uncontrolled and controlled” pedestrian crossing were there adjacent to schools or on school routes in the City as a whole, and within Nether Edge and surrounding school catchments, such as Sharrow, Ecclesall, Carterknowle and Millhouses, and where were they sited?
R Awaiting response.
