Information gathered following the meeting:

Imperial Rd/ Winkfield Rd/ Clewer Hill Road – traffic signal review consultation

Q.   Can we model improvements gained to air quality from our final design?

A.   There is ongoing monitoring at this junction and the Environmental Protection Team can provide data, however seasonal variations and yearly fluctuations in air quality may be greater than the margin of improvement resulting from a scheme. A separate air quality model of the junction could be commissioned and this would test different scenarios and predict the outcome for air quality. The model would take into account traffic volumes and queuing times and predict the corresponding emissions. The cost of a separate air quality model is not specifically provided for in the approved budget for the scheme.

Street Café encroachment

Q.   Does ‘Madame Posh’ have a street café licence?

A.   Yes.

Q.   Do table and chair licences allow for delivery vehicles, refuse vehicles and emergency service access?

A.   In pedestrianised areas delivery vehicles need to be accommodated where no time restriction is in place. Such vehicles are able to navigate along Peascod Street without a problem.

Q.   Are street cafés limited until after delivery hours?

A.   Some are dependent on location.  In the past we have had complaints about cafés putting their items out before deliveries were complete  but not in the last 6 months.

Q.   How often does the licence need to be re-applied for?

A.   Every three years.

New parking equipment River Street / Meadow Lane Car Parks

Q.  How will Blue badge holders be accommodated?

A.   Free parking for blue badge holders in both car parks will be handled by the help point who will take details and allow free exit. Instructions will be provided in the car park.

Q.   How will businesses permits/ season ticket holders be accommodated?

A. Business permit/ season ticket holders will be given a pass card for the car park which will enable them free entry/exit. Instructions will be provided to permit/ season ticket holders.

Arthur Road Corridor Junctions – traffic signal review consultation (Arthur Rd/ Alma Rd)

Q.   Please can we write to coach companies asking them to adhere to the signed coach route?

A.   Neil Walter (Parking Principal) will send an email to the coach operators association who will be able to advise their members.
