There are a number of stages involved in the review, the current stage is: Advertisement and objections.
Assessments
The deadline for requests for new parking controls to be considered as part of this parking review was June 2024.
We have completed a desktop review of the requests received, and subsequent site assessments. The requests are assessed based on a number of factors, including road safety, accessibility, congestion, the possibility of just displacing a problem and how many people supported the change.
Authorisation
Having discussed and agreed the proposals with county councillors, authorisation to advertise our intention to make the changes has been granted by the Parking and Enforcement Team Manager.
Advertisement and objections
On 1 August 2025, we advertised our intention to introduce our parking proposals. There follows a 28 day period during which we will accept public comments and objections, which will be considered before the final decisions are made. Details of the proposals are given in the attached documents. To find the location you're interested in, first open the Statement of Reasons (PDF), search for the road you're interest in, and then open the relevant drawing pack.
If you wish to comment on the proposals, you must do so by 29 August 2025, using either:
- our (preferred), or
- by sending a letter quoting 'Elmbridge Parking Review 2024' to: Parking Team, Hazel House, Merrow Lane, Guildford, GU4 7BQ.
As part of the advertising process, we have taken steps to make people who may be affected by the proposals, aware of them. We erected street notices at affected locations and wrote to properties fronting any proposed new restrictions. We also published the mandatory legal notice in the local press, and copies of the proposed traffic orders, the statement of reasons and the drawings available for inspection at the council offices and libraries.
Approval
The feedback received will be read, analysed, and discussed with the county councillor for the area in question. The final decisions are made by the Parking and Traffic Enforcement Manager in consultation with the relevant county councillor.
We will produce a 'Decisions report' which summarises the feedback received and the final decisions made, which will be published online, and we'll write to anyone who raised a comment or objection to advise of the outcome. There is no 'appeal' stage.
Implementation
Once the final decisions have been made, we carry out 'detailed design' for the new signs and lines required and place a work order with our contractors.
We'll also 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.
