At a Transport Executive Member Decision Session held on 21 July, a number of parking restrictions in Dringhouses & Woodthorpe ward were approved. A recording of the public meeting is available to watch on YouTube HERE (it is agenda item 5, Annex C).

The meeting discussed a set of recommendations provided by officers, which were all accepted. These were:

– Double yellow lines to be installed on a stretch of Moorcroft Road between the GP surgery and number 34

– Double yellow lines to be installed on the corner of White House Gardens and Pulleyn Drive

– Double yellow lines to be installed on the slip road from Yorkcraft to the Askham Bar roundabout

The double yellow lines that were advertised for North Lane will not be installed. Instead, the recommendation was approved for a white ‘H-Bar’ marking to be installed on the road opposite the entrance to the private driveway leading to four properties.

At a Decision Meeting on 14 September, the council’s Executive Member for Planning & Transport, Cllr Ian Gillies, approved the installation of double yellow lines at a number of locations. These measures will now be advertised, with the opportunity for residents to object if they wish to.

The report that sets out the proposed double yellow lines is available Here. The locations where double yellow lines were approved are:

• Junction of Cherry Lane and St Edwards Close (see map below)
• Junction of Ainsty Avenue and Mayfield Grove
• Junction of Nelsons Lane and Breary Close
• Moorcroft Road, from the doctors surgery to first junction with Bramble Dene

However a number of additional schemes which local ward councillors had supported were turned down:

• Moor Lane, near the entrance to Chapmans Pond
• North Lane, near junction with Jervis Road
• Junction of Acorn Way and Wharfe Drive
• Moorcroft Road, in front of the dentists

Cllr Ann Reid spoke at the meeting to ask Cllr Gillies to include these additional schemes, but to no avail.
