There are a number of stages involved in the review, as shown in the list above, and we are currently in the advertisement and objections stage.
Introduction
Starting in November 2024, we carried out site visits and assessments of on-street parking concerns across the borough. These are the concerns that have been brought to our attention largely by members of the public, the police, councillors, and highway officers since the previous parking review took place. We assess the requests based on a number of factors, including road safety, accessibility, congestion, the possibility of just displacing a problem and how many people have requested a change.
Authorisation
After completing all the site visits, we prepare a report of our findings and recommendations, which we share with the County Councillors whose divisions are in Reigate and Banstead Borough, so they can review them and we can agree which proposed new parking restrictions we should advertise our intention to introduce, at which point the local community can have their say about them.
Advertisement and objections
We will formally advertise our intention to introduce the proposals by way of a notice in the Surrey Mirror on 17 July 2025. Around the same time, we will put up street notices on site at each location, and send a letter or flyer to those properties immediately fronting locations where changes are proposed.
Towards the bottom of the page there is a document called Reigate and Banstead parking review 2024 to 2025: Statement of reasons (PDF), which contains a description of all the proposed changes and why we want to introduce them. Underneath that are packs of drawings showing the proposals and the statement of reasons tells you which of the drawings shows each proposed change. In the statement of reasons the proposals are sorted by electoral division and then by town and the drawings are combined into packs for each councillor's division.
Following the publication of the notice in the newspaper, there will be a 28-day period during which people can let us have their views about any of the proposed changes. If you wish to comment on or object to any of the proposals, you must do so in writing, by Thursday 14 August 2025 either using the online form, or by sending a letter, addressed to: Parking Team (Reigate and Banstead Review 2024 to 2025), Hazel House, Merrow Lane, Guildford GU4 7BQ.
Approval
All the feedback received following the 28-day public consultation will then be separated out into each proposal, compiled into a report, and presented to the relevant County Councillor and the Parking & Traffic Enforcement Manager. They will each read the report and make decisions on how to proceed at each location, taking the feedback submitted during the consultation into account. Public feedback can result in a proposal being dropped completely or a reduced proposal being progressed. It is not possible to extend a scheme once it has been formally consulted upon. If no objections are received about a particular proposal, it will proceed as advertised through to implementation.
Once final verdicts have been agreed, a 'Decisions Report' will be written and published below on this web page. Everybody who participated in the consultation will be notified when the Decisions Report is available. The report will summarise the feedback received during the consultation and state the final councillor's decision with an explanation.
Implementation
Each location we are proceeding with will be visited, measured, and marked out in preparation for the new parking scheme to be installed. Orders for lining and signing works will then be raised and placed with our contractors to install the new parking controls. Lining work requires suitable weather. If this stage of the process is reached during the winter or a wet spell of weather, there could be a delay in implementing.
A final traffic regulation order (TRO) will then be made and published. This will make all the changes made in the parking review legally enforceable by civil enforcement officers.
