56(a)      Deputation – Traffic flows in Carlyle Street, Brighton

56.2               The Cabinet Member considered a deputation from Mr Gerry Kassab concerning problems caused by traffic flows in Carlyle Street Brighton (for copy see minute book).

56.3               As the deputation had recently been received at a meeting of the Full Council, the Cabinet Member referred those present to the response he gave at that meeting. The Cabinet Member thanked Mr Kassab again for raising the matter and for offering to work with the council to try and find a solution. 

56.4               RESOLVED – That the deputation be noted.

56(b)      Deputation – London Road Controlled Parking Zone Consultation

56.5               The Cabinet Member considered a deputation, accompanied by a petition signed by 43 people, presented by Mr Robert Rosenthal concerning the consultation on the proposed London Road Controlled Parking Zone (for copy see minute book).

56.6               The Cabinet Member thanked Mr Rosenthal for the deputation and stated that he was sorry that Mr Rosenthal did not consider the consultation to be adequate, but confirmed that all the residents in the area were sent a very clear consultation document in June 2009. It was stated in this document that all comments received would be carefully considered to decide whether there was enough support to proceed to the next stage of the scheme development. There were well attended public meetings staffed by council officers where residents were able to discuss detailed aspects of the proposals. The Cabinet Member pointed out that Springfield Road, Florence Road and Rugby Road voted against a scheme during the consultation. In accordance with the agreed procedure residents would be notified of the way forward through a further letter drop later this month. Officers would provide a full written response to the issues raised in the deputation. The Director of Environment agreed to meet to look at the concerns and to clarify what can and can’t now be done.

56.7               RESOLVED – That the deputation and petition be noted.
