Officers of Surrey County Council’s parking team have carried out a review of on street parking restrictions within the borough of Spelthorne and identified changes which would benefit road safety and reduce instances of obstruction and localised congestion.

The Local Committee (Spelthorne) resolved to AGREE:

(i)    The proposed amendments to on-street parking restrictions in Spelthorne as described in this report and shown in detail on drawings in annex A, with the following amendments:

·         STANWELL ROAD J/W WOODTHORPE ROAD, ASHFORD (DRAWING 0186)

Double yellow lines to be extended opposite the junction with Chaucer Road.

·         BRIAR ROAD, SHEPPERTON (DRAWING 0167)

Double yellow lines at this junction.

(ii)   To allocate funding as detailed in paragraph 5.1 of this report to proceed with the introduction of the parking amendments.

(iii)  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 Spelthorne as shown on the drawings in annex A are advertised and that if no objections are maintained, the orders are made.

(iv)Unresolved objections 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. An additional member may be invited for comment.

Reasons:They will make a positive impact towards: road safety, access for emergency vehicles, access for refuse vehicles, easing traffic congestion, better regulated parking, better enforcement, better compliance.

The Local Committee was informed by Jack Roberts that the review was a lighter one than in previous years. There had been changes to the way that school keep clear lines were installed and though these were now less onerous, they would nonetheless require Local Committee approval for them to be implemented. The Local Committee was informed that the document was not intended to be exhaustive and could be flexible, to accommodate comments from Councillors and members of the public. At the stage the consultation process was complete, a final decision would be taken at the meeting of the Joint Committee. Three amendments to the recommendations (as below) were made by Mrs Carol Coleman and seconded by Cllr Richard Smith-Ainsley.
