The different stages of the review are shown above, and we are currently in the implementation stage.

Introduction

Starting in November 2024, we visited and assessed on-street parking concerns across the district. These concerns had been raised largely by members of the public, the police, councillors, and highway officers since the previous review took place. The requests are assessed based on a number of factors, including:

  • road safety,
  • accessibility,
  • congestion,
  • the possibility of just displacing a problem
  • how many people supported the change.

After completing all the site visits, we prepared a report of our findings and recommendations.

Authorisation

We shared our findings and recommendations with County Councillors for Reigate and Banstead. After discussions, they approved the proposed parking changes. We will now advertise these proposals, as required by law, so local residents and road users can give their views.

Advertisement and objections

We formally advertised our intention to introduce the proposals with a notice in the Surrey Mirror on 17 July 2025.

  • erected street notices on site at each location;
  • made drawings and a statement of reasons available to view online at the bottom of this page.
  • sent or delivered letters to any properties immediately in front of where changes are proposed.

In the documents below, The Reigate and Banstead parking review 2024 to 2025: Statement of reasons (PDF) explains all of the proposed changes and why they are being introduced. It also shows which drawings relate to each change. The proposals are organised by electoral division and then by town, with drawings grouped for each councillor’s area.

After the notice was published in the newspaper, there was a 28-day period, ending on 14 August 2025, for people to share their views on the proposed changes.

Approval

All responses were compiled into a report with recommended actions for each location. The Parking and Traffic Enforcement Manager reviewed this with county councillors and agreed the final decisions. Everyone who responded was notified of the outcome by email or letter before the changes were put in place.

Implementation

Please see the final decision in Reigate and Banstead 2024 to 2025- Decisions Report (PDF) below. We will now mark the extents of the lining on street and place an order with our contractor to install the necessary markings. The lining work is scheduled to commence in March 2026 (weather depending) and is expected to be completed within six months. After the lining is finished, we will order signage for specific locations that require it. The final traffic regulation order, which will make all changes from the parking review legally enforceable by Civil Enforcement Officers, will be made and published close to the installation of lining and necessary signage.
