Introduction

During June and July 2023, we looked at some parking issues across the borough. These issues had been brought to our attention largely by members of the public, the police, councillors and highway officers since the previous review took place. We have visited, assessed, and prioritised the requests for new or amended parking controls which should be taken forward.

Authorisation

Having discussed and agreed the proposals with county councillors, authorisation has been granted to advertise our intention to make the changes by the Parking and Enforcement Team Manager

Advertising and objections

We have now finished accepting feedback about our latest proposals. The formal advertising ended on 1 December 2023. Thank you to everybody who took part.

To find out what the proposals were, please refer to the statement of reasons, and then to the relevant drawing pack. There is one for each division, linked at the bottom of this page.

All the feedback received was then downloaded and compiled into a report with an officer recommendation on how to proceed at each location. The report was distributed to Guildford County Councillors and the Traffic Enforcement and Parking Team Manager to read.

Approval

The Traffic Enforcement and Parking Team Manager, in consultation with the county councillors of Guildford Borough, have now read the report and considered the feedback received together with officers recommendations on how to proceed. Final decision about which proposals should go ahead, and whether any should be changed or withdrawn have now been made.

The final decisions report is now published below on this page. Anyone who raised a comment or objection was contacted by letter or email to advise of the outcome. There is no 'appeal' stage.

Implementation

Now the final decisions have been made, we have been back on site to carry out 'detailed design' in order to specify the new signs and lines that are required. Works order have been placed with our contractors to install the new parking controls on street.

At the same time, we will finalise the traffic regulation orders, and publish a 'made notice' in the local press.

Once the traffic orders are made, and the new signs and lines are in place, the new restrictions will come into effect.
