Purpose:

Content: Following the completion of the statutory consultation period and the subsequent detailed review of all representations received, the following recommendations are presented for consideration and determination by the Cabinet Member:   It is recommended that a Public Inquiry should not be held. While the consultation period revealed significant community opposition to the original scope of the Prohibition of Waiting on Raglan High Street (2249), it is advised to proceed with approving and implementing the proposed orders listed below as originally proposed:   Proposed Prohibition of Waiting at Any Time on Ash Tree Road, Caerwent Proposed Prohibition of Waiting at Any Time on Vauxhall Lane, Chepstow Proposed Time Restricted Prohibition of Loading on Kings Street/Lion Street, Abergavenny Proposed Disabled Persons Parking Place on 57 Thornwell Road, Bulwark Proposed Prohibition of Waiting at Any Time on School Lane, Caerwent Proposed Prohibition of Waiting at Any Time on The Plantation, Undy Proposed Prohibition of Waiting at Any Time on Victoria Way, Undy Proposed Prohibition of Waiting at Any Time on Tudor Road, Wyesham Proposed Disabled Persons Parking Place on Raglan High Street Proposed Time Limited Loading Bay on Raglan High Street Proposed 7.5T Weight Restriction (Except for Access) on A466, Monmouth Proposed Prohibition of Waiting at Any Time on B4245 Newport Road (Northern Arm of Roundabout), Magor Proposed Prohibition of Waiting at Any Time on Hereford Road/Grosvenor Road Junction, Abergavenny Proposed Revocation of Prohibition of Waiting at Any Time on The Back, Chepstow Proposed Prohibition of Waiting at Any Time and Revocation of Restricted Zone on High Street/Bank Street, Chepstow Proposed Prohibition of Waiting at Any Time on Plas Derwen Way, Abergavenny Proposed Prohibition of Waiting at Any Time on Rockwood Road, Chepstow Proposed Revocation of Time Restricted Prohibition of Waiting on Merthyr Road, Abergavenny Proposed Prohibition of Waiting at Any Time on The Cross, Caldicot Proposed Revocation of Prohibition of Waiting at Any Time on Church Road, Caldicot.   As mentioned above, following significant public opposition to the original Prohibition of Waiting on Raglan High Street (2249), the proposed restriction has been substantially reduced. It is recommended to proceed only with the minimum necessary measure: a 10-meter section on the northern side of the highway, as shown in drawing 2249 REV B. This adjustment addresses concerns about economic impact on local businesses and increased through-traffic, which could compromise pedestrian safety. By limiting the scope to a safety-critical area with a known sightline obstruction, the Authority has demonstrated consideration of social and economic factors.
