Several traffic restrictions affecting East Cowes, Ryde and Carisbrooke will go ahead after the Isle of Wight Council gave plans the green light.
Traffic Regulation Orders (TRO) approved on Friday include curbing vehicle access on Spring Lane in Carisbrooke, introducing time limited parking on Ryde’s Well Street and limiting parking space on East Cowes’s Church Path.
The Spring Lane restriction has gone through in order to enhance the habitat surrounding Lukely Brook by “narrowing” the brook, making small pools for fish and “planting greenery”, according to a report from strategic director for community services, Colin Rowland.
It applies to a 40.5 metre stretch of the road in a south east direction from its junction with Carisbrooke High Street.
Constraining vehicle access is part of a wider environmental plan by Southern Water and the Water Industry National Environmental Programme (WINEP) – a series of actions water companies must take to comply with environmental law.
Southern Water’s project is aligned with council aims to support the community and environment.
The TRO does not include parking spaces and is expected to have a “minor positive impact” on the area’s air quality.
It is estimated to cost £510, including a yearly maintenance cost of £80 over the next 14 years which will be covered by Southern Water.
In Ryde, a time limited parking restriction on Well Street – ‘Limited Waiting, One Hour No Return Within One Hour’ – has been applied to space next to Wonder House Nursery between Monday and Saturday from 8am to 6pm.
Mr Rowland said:
“It is designed to accommodate town centre shoppers, dentist and nursery visitors’ during the day, whilst allowing local residents’ overnight parking.”
Putting the TRO into practice will cost local businesses £850, excluding VAT, according to the council.
The same firms will also pay £616 in maintenance costs over the next 14 years, again not including VAT.
Parking restrictions on Church Path in East Cowes apply to four separate spaces on the street between the East Cowes Medical Centre and Old Road.
Explaining the policy, strategic manager for highways and transportation Scott Headey said:
“The proposal aims to ensure safety for all road users, while securing the emergency services’ access and the movement of the traffic by removing inappropriate parking in order to increase visibility, create passing points, and free up footways.”
