The Result of the 3rd - 10th June Exhibition of "Options" for a Residents Parking Scheme for Hay-on-Wye, held at Hay Librray 

An email from Powys County Council to Councillor Gareth Ratcliffe.

Cllr. Ratcliffe,

Following the successful consultation/exhibition event for proposed Residents Parking schemes in Hay on Wye, the feedback is being analysed and will be available for publication.  The result of the analysis will determine how best to proceed and changes to the proposals will be considered and the proposals altered where appropriate. 

Such changes could include:

• the type of restriction proposed [i.e. ‘residents only’ to ‘residents and limited waiting’, or vice versa]
• the amalgamation of schemes in the central area
• reducing the streets under consideration 

It is intended that the outcome will again be discussed with the Town Council and decisions made, following more direct consultation (a postal drop is suggested) will be conducted with residents who would be directly affected by the revised proposals.

As a result of the consultation responses and discussions with yourself some initial changes have been made to the TRO proposals.  The double yellow lines on Hay Industrial Park attracted comment from residents of Meadow Park and the proposed length of the restrictions will now be limited to only cover the length from Brecon Road to just past the second entrance to Anderson.  Parking will therefore be possible on approx. 65m of the road leading to Meadow Park and will continue to allow workers to be picked up.

Regards, Phil Jackson.

It doesn't really tell us much except that it seems again the public won't be consulted!

We think calling the exhibition "successful" is perhaps a little ingenious.
