Decision Maker: Reigate and Banstead Local Committee

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

The Local Committee (Reigate and Banstead) resolved to agree:

 

(i) The county council’s intention to introduce the proposals in Annex 1 is formally advertised, and subject to statutory consultation.

(ii) That if necessary, adjustments can be made to the proposals by the parking team manager in consultation with the Chairman, Vice-chairman and divisional member prior to advertisement.

(iii) That if no objections are received when the proposals are advertised, the traffic regulation orders are made.

(iv) That if there are unresolved objections, they are 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 divisional member.

(v) That if necessary the parking team manager will report the objections back to the local committee for resolution

 

REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS:

Changes to the highway network, the built environment and society mean that  parking behaviour changes and consequently it is necessary for a highway

authority to carry out regular reviews of waiting and parking restrictions on the highway network. It is recommended that the waiting restrictions in this report are progressed as they will help to:

• Improve road safety

• Increase access for emergency vehicles

• Help residents park nearer their homes

• improve access to shops, facilities and businesses

• Increase access for refuse vehicles, buses and service vehicles

• Ease traffic congestion

• Better control parking
