Purpose

This report sets out the results of the
recent Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) engagement exercise for the Draft
Off-Street Parking Places (Amendment 9) Order. 
The Amendment Order sets out proposals to change the ‘limited wait 2
hours, no return within 4 hours’ at Middle Road Car Park, Park Gate to apply
between the hours of 8am and 6pm only.

 

The Executive meeting on March 2024 agreed
that the following changes should be applied to the existing Off-Street Parking
Order:

 

·        
to change the limited
wait and no return to ‘2 hours limited wait, no return within 4 hours
between the hours of 8am and 6pm.

 

The statutory process to inform the public of
these changes took place through the Draft Off-Street Parking Places (Amendment
9) Order consultation which ran from 22 March 2024 – 12 April 2024.

 

The proposed order and details of how to take
part were placed on the Council’s website. 
A notice was published in the Hampshire Independent and consultees
including Hampshire Constabulary, Hampshire County Council, the Road Haulage
Association, and the Freight Transport Association were contacted. Public
notices were posted in Middle Road Car Park, Park Gate.

 

Hampshire County Council responded to confirm
that they had no objections to the Amendment Order.  No other responses were received.

 

If the Amended Off-Street Parking Places
(Amendment 9) Order is approved, revised signage will be put in place in Middle
Road Car Park. The Council’s website will be updated to ensure that parking
information reflects the amended Off-Street Parking Places (Amendment 9) Order.
Changes will come into effect on the 24 May 2024.

and Public Protection agrees the adoption of the updated Off-Street Parking
