Amendment to Taxi Rank o/s No 72 to 84 High Street Camberley

Minutes:

The recently completed High Street Public Realm project had reduced kerbside parking along the High Street from its junction with Pembroke Broadway to its junction with St George’s Road and Obelisk Way. In addition, the works had reduced taxi rank spaces from 7 to 4 spaces which had been approved at the Surrey County Council Surrey Heath Local Area Committee meeting on 25 February 2021.

 

It was acknowledged that the timings and cancellations of the Surrey Heath Local Area Committee’s meetings meant the decision to reduce the taxi rank spaces came before the Licensing Committee after the public realm works had dictated its hand. In addition, whilst it was appreciated that it was not a responsibility of the Licensing Committee, it was noted that there were concerns in respect of disabled parking provision on the High Street.

 

RESOLVED that

     I.        The proposal to reduce the High Street rank from 7 taxis to 4 taxis and advertise the proposals in accordance with the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1987 s63 be agreed;

    II.        Officers be asked to investigate the replacement of the spaces elsewhere in Town.
