(iv)         That if objections are received the Parking Strategy and Implementation Team Manager is authorised to try and resolve them, 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.

Petitions, Public Questions and Statements

Mr Carr (Leatherhead RA) spoke with reference to the proposed parking restriction (drawing 14) junction Levett Rd and Copthorne Rd. He believes that the bus could change its route and/or a smaller bus could be used.

The Parking officer agreed to contact the Passenger Transport Group, which had requested the new parking restriction because the bus companies had reported issues.
