Decision details

Officers of Surrey County Council’s parking team have carried out a review of on street parking restrictions within the borough of Surrey Heath and identified changes which would benefit road safety and reduce instances of obstruction and localised congestion. Committee approval is required in order to progress these changes to the stage of ‘formal advertisement’, where the proposed restrictions will be advertised for 28 days and open to comments or objections from members of the public.

The Local Committee (Surrey Heath) agreed that:

(i)            the proposed amendments to on-street parking restrictions in Surrey Heath as described in the report and shown in detail on drawings in annex A be agreed to include the removal of Bowling Green Road, Chobham and a change from 2 hour to 1 hour parking restriction on Updown Hill, Windlesham.

(ii)           funding be allocated as detailed in paragraph 5.1 of the report to proceed with the introduction of the parking amendments.

(iii)          advertisement of the intention of the county council to make an order under the relevant parts of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 to impose the waiting and on street parking restrictions in Surrey Heath as described in the report and shown on the drawings in annex A should proceed and that, if no objections are maintained, the orders be made.

(iv)         if there are unresolved objections, they will be dealt with in accordance with the county council’s scheme of delegation by the parking strategy and implementation team manager, in consultation with the chairman/vice chairman of the committee and the appropriate county councillor. An additional member may be invited for comment.
