Issue - meetings

To consider the outcome of a review of parking covering the whole borough, and recommendations to changes to parking, waiting, and loading restrictions.

The Local Committee (Elmbridge) agreed:

(i)     The county council’s intention to introduce the proposals as detailed in Annex 1 are formally advertised, and subject to statutory consultation, subject to the deletion of “Matthew Arnold Close” from the School Road description on page 23 and the addition of revoking double yellow lines in part of Avondale Road.
    

(ii)    That if necessary, adjustments can be made to the proposals by the parking strategy and implementation team manager in consultation with the chairman, vice-chairman and divisional county councillor prior to advertisement.

(iii)   If any objections cannot be resolved, the parking strategy and implementation team manager, in consultation with the chairman/vice chairman of this committee and the county councillor for the division, decides whether or not they should be acceded to and therefore whether the order should be made, with or without modifications.

(iv)   To note responses to various petitions (parking scheme request forms) that have been received for consideration as part of this review, as detailed in Annex 2.

(v)    To note the locations where we have received requests for new or amended parking controls, and following analysis, have recommended no changes at the current time, as detailed in Annex 3.

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.

Declarations of Interest: Mark Sugden declared a personal interest as a resident of one of the roads and acquaintance of residents in another.

Officers attending: Adrian Harris, Parking Engineer

Petitions, Public Questions/Statements: None
