We asked, you said, we did
Below are outcomes for some of the issues we've recently asked about. See all outcomes
We asked
If you would be in favour of a Controlled Parking Zone within Westoe
You said
The consultation results show that many residents in the Westoe area are not in favour of progressing with the introduction of a CPZ. The proportion of respondents who believe it would negatively affect the area significantly outweighs those who view it positively, and the tone of the written feedback reflects a general lack of community support.
Customers visiting pubs and restaurants received a lot of criticism. With complaints of vehicles being left over night and sometimes all weekend. However, It also highlight that levels of car ownership in Westoe appear to be higher than expected. According to the 2021 census 67.2% of households in South Tyneside own at least one car compared to 78% nationally. But the figures taken from this consultation show 85% of responders own one car or more.
We did
Given the low ratio of available parking space to homes and the high levels of car ownership and the current levels of opposition from the local community. No further action will be taken on the introduction of a Controlled Parking Zone in the Westoe area at this time. Should parking pressures change in the future, or should there be a shift in community sentiment, the issue can be revisited with a more detailed proposal.
We asked
We proposed to remove a short section of parking restriction to allow parking outside the church.
You said
residents and regular users of the road felt that this would result in obstructions ti their driveways and result in congestion.
We did
We acknowleded those comments and felt that we should not proceed with the scheme at this time.
We asked
We proposed to ammend the existing parking restrictions and dparking bays to allow larger vehicels to manouvre through this junction.
You said
Nobody objected.
We did
The existing restrictions will be adjusted to allow larger vehicels to manouvre through this junction. The restrictions will be operational on 09/12/24
