He added that one option could be to keep commercial vehicles in one place, and transport workers between their homes and the area.
The council is planning to hold focus groups with residents over the next few months to help gather ideas.
The panel will be meeting on Thursday at the civic offices, starting at 5.30pm.
The meeting will be open to the public but the deadline for people to submit a request to speak has now passed.
