Question:
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to detail all pilots for residential parking schemes which will be in operation by the end of (i) the 2016-17 financial year; and (ii) the 2017-18 financial year.

Answer:

I do not anticipate that there will be any residents parking schemes in operation by 2016/17

Officials are proceeding with the design and implementation of the Rugby Road / College Park Avenue scheme, and if the 11 outstanding objections to the scheme can be dealt with, I anticipate the scheme to be in operation in 2017-18.

Informal consultation has also taken place for a proposed scheme in Rossville Street area in Derry and officials are liaising with the local community to seek to address issues which have been raised. It is hoped that this scheme will become operational in 2017-18.

A scheme was previously proposed for Massereene Street and Clarke Court in Antrim. However recent surveys have shown better parking availability and officials are currently reviewing the scheme to ensure that the criteria for residents’ parking still exist. If the scheme proceeds it would be anticipated to be in operation in 2017-18.
