WEYBRIDGE
Surrey Parking Amendments Process 2010
Here is how the Surrey County Council Parking Team describe the process:
"Since the last parking review was undertaken, a list has been maintained of sites where residents, councillors and Surrey County Council engineers have requested parking and loading restrictions.
The list originally comprised 319 locations, and of these it is recommended that 80 be progressed for implementation as detailed in this annex [download the full Annex A document].
The assessment involved the following two stages:-
Stage 1
An initial desktop exercise was conducted to remove requests that required a refreshment of existing restrictions and requests for restrictions, which were either clearly not practical or feasible.
Stage 2
An assessment was then conducted at the remaining locations, using a detailed scoring system which focussed on several factors including road safety, localised congestion, effect of emergency services and bus operators and levels of support, for example, high resident demand, supported by county member, local borough/district council, etc.
OFFICER RECOMMENDATIONS
The table in Annex A details the recommendation for each of the short- listed sites. All measurements quoted are approximate and are usually provided to the nearest metre or half-metre.
The final page of this Annex A lists the locations considered as part of this review, but are not recommended to be progressed at this time.
If further clarification is sought please contact the Parking Team using the contact details provided in the main report."

Amendments affecting

53: Cedar Road and Holstein Avenue, Weybridge
Vehicles parked at this location on a long-term basis by non residents is affecting amenity for residents. There is also a concern that indiscriminate parking may cause obstruction. In order to ameliorate the situation the following is proposed:-

6) That no waiting at anytime is introduced at the remaining short sections of Holstein Avenue not described in (1) to (4) above.
55: Minorca Road, Weybridge
Parking levels are very high in this road and there have been requests from residents to increase the parking provision.
The following is therefore proposed to increase amenity:-
1) That the existing parking bays on both sides of Minorca Road close to its junction with Church Street are each extended by 4 metres in a direction south.
2) That the existing parking bay on the west side of Minorca Road close to its junction with Church Street is also extended by 5 metres in a direction north so that it terminates close the access to Chantrey Court.

2) On the east side of Devonshire Road from its junction with Portmore Park Road, in a direction south, to a point 1 metre south of the southern side of the vehicle crossover for Holly Cottage, Devonshire Road.
3) On the southeast side of Portmore Park Road from a point 1 metre north of the northern side of the vehicle crossover for The Corner Cottage, Devonshire Road, in a direction south, to a point 10 metres south of the prolongation of the west kerb line of Devonshire Road.
