Issue - meetings

Each year Surrey Highways receives requests to change existing or introduce new parking restrictions in Tandridge. For greater efficiency, these requests are compiled and reviewed in a district wide process.

To progress the 2016/17 review the committee is asked to approve statutory consultation for changes to on-street parking restrictions at the locations listed in the report annexes.

(Report and Annexes 1 and 2 attached)

 The Local Committee (Tandridge) resolved to agree:

i). The proposed changes to parking and waiting restrictions as shown in Annexes 1 and 2, as amended in Annex 3 and to further include the additions of Whyteleafe Road, Detillens Lane and Brassey Road.

ii). If necessary, adjustments can be made to the proposals agreed at the meeting by the Parking Team Manager in consultation with the Chairman, Vice-Chairman and local Member prior to statutory consultation.

iii). The intention of the County Council to make Traffic Regulation Orders under the relevant parts of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 to impose the waiting and on street parking restrictions in Tandridge as shown in the Annexes (and as subsequently modified by ii) is advertised and that if no objections are maintained, the Order is 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 this committee and the appropriate county councillor.

v). If necessary the Parking Team Manager will report the objections back to the local committee for resolution.

vi). Note the allocation £10,000 in the Revenue Maintenance Allocation 2016/17 as agreed at the 23 March 2016 Tandridge Local Committee meeting to implement the parking amendments.

vii). Approve the new process for implementation of new school keep clear markings (SKCs), and to agree to revoke the traffic regulation orders for existing SKCs across Tandridge, in light of changes in government legislation.

Reasons for Recommendations:

The Local Committee agreed the Revenue Maintenance Allocation 2016/17 at the 23 March 2016 Tandridge Local Committee meeting. This included a provision of £10,000 for parking amendments for the 2016/17 Parking review. The Committee is asked to note this recommendation.

School Keep Clear Markings: Following government changes to the regulations, it is no longer necessary for us to make a traffic regulation order (TRO) when we want to introduce a school keep clear (SKC) marking. It is also no longer necessary for us to have a TRO for existing SKC markings. As is already the case with bus stop clearways, all we need to do is put in place the appropriate road marking and signs, and the restriction will be enforceable.

As it is possible for people to receive a penalty charge notice (PCN) if they park on an SKC marking, we think it is important that the decision to install them still has member input. However, in order to simplify and speed up the process to introduce new markings, we would like to propose that this can be done by the parking team with the agreement of the chairman/vice chairman of the local committee and the relevant county councillor, rather than the whole committee, so we do not have to wait until the next committee meeting for a decision.

We would also carry out a consultation exercise with residents and businesses in the local area, in order to ensure that  ...  view the full decision text for item 68

David Curl, Parking Strategy and Implementation Manager introduced the report. He explained that the county council receives hundreds of requests for parking restrictions, and therefore for efficiency they are grouped together and looked at as part of the scheduled parking review. All proposals in the report have been discussed and agreed with the divisional member. The next stage is to start statutory consultation. The report allows for adjustments to be made to the proposals after the meeting.

The Officer explained that the changes to the regulations concerning School Keep Clear markings means that any proposals can be agreed with the divisional member straightaway, rather than waiting for the next parking review.

The Officer confirmed that implementation from last year’s parking review was due to be completed within the next couple of weeks.

The Officer confirmed that recommendation vi had been amended to reflect that the monies had already been allocated.

Members’ discussion- key points:

Councillor John Orrick confirmed his support for the restrictions on both sides of Whyteleafe Road and that this should be added to the proposals.

The Chairman requested that Brassey Road and Detillens Lane are included in the review.

The amends to the recommendations were proposed by the Chairman and seconded by Mr Sydney.
