The purpose of this report is to inform members that Surrey County Council intend to undertake consultation on car parking restrictions on the A30.  The proposed car parking restriction changes will improve journey time for all modes along the A30 corridor during peak traffic periods.

The Local Committee (Surrey Heath) agreed to note:

(i)    the proposed consultation to be undertaken by Surrey County Council as described in this report and shown in Annex 1 and Annex 2 on:

a.    introducing “No waiting or loading between 07:00 – 10:00 Mon to Sat” and to extend the evening restriction by an hour to “No waiting or loading between 16:00 – 19:00 Mon to Sat” on the on-street parking bays on the A30 to the west of Frimley Road junction

b.    extending the current restrictions to “07:00 – 19:00 Mon to Sat 1 hr only, no return within 1 hr” on the layby parking bays fronting apartments at 423 - 437 London Road (Pipers Court).

The Local Committee (Surrey Heath) agreed, upon the completion of the consultation, to:

(ii)   delegate authority to the Area Team in consultation with the Chairman, Divisional Members and Project Manager, to review the consultation results and to approve advertising of all necessary legal notices and traffic orders to enable the implementation of the car parking restriction changes and shown in Annex 1 and Annex 2.
