Decision details

Traffic Regulation Order - decision to make order with amendments

Decision Maker: Joint Assistant Director: Commercial Services

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

To proceed with the making of all the proposals with the exception of those relating to Kingston Meadows car park, East Horsley.
In that specific case, rather than making the order as advertised, revoke the existing order in its entirety, thereby further reducing the level of restriction.

Reasons for the decision:

To make improvements in the way various car parks are managed and to tidy up the traffic regulation order (TRO) for those car parks that have been closed.

Alternative options considered:

The vast majority of the proposed amendments are being implemented as advertised.
In the case of Kingston Meadows car park, East Horsley:
1) the existing TRO could remain, but then it would need to be enforced (previous enforcement on these terms was not welcomed by various key stakeholders)
2) the proposed amendment could be introduced, but this would require removal of the advisory signage, which would conflict with the proposals to remove the limited waiting and no return provisions.
3) the revocation of the TRO will allow the advisory signage to remain, but if inconsiderate parking was subsequently to take place, consideration could be given to the reintroduction of a TRO.
