A report seeking approval from the Sub-Committee for Officers to undertake statutory consultation for recommended new/alterations to waiting restrictions as part of the 2025 programme. These recommendations follow officer investigation of the requests, which were reported to and agreed for investigation by the Sub-Committee at their meeting in November 2025.

The Sub-Committee received a report that sought approval for officers to carry out statutory consultation for recommended new/alterations to waiting restrictions as part of the 2025 programme.  The recommendations followed officer investigation of requests, which were submitted and agreed for investigation at the meeting on 26 November 2025 (Minute 32 refers).  The Recommendations for Statutory Consultation (2025 Programme) set out in Appendix 1, attached to the report, had been shared with Ward Councillors and an opportunity had been provided for their comments.

The report stated that the schemes taken forward to statutory consultation would be included within a single proposed Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) which would then be subject to public consultation for a period lasting at least 21 days. The full process was set out in the report. The report explained that those schemes taken forward for statutory consultation that did not receive any objections during the consultation period would be recommended for implementation, subject to final decisions being made on the remaining items within the TRO. For those schemes where objections were received, a further report would be submitted to the Sub-Committee seeking a decision on the outcome of the scheme.

Resolved –

(1)           That the report be noted;

(2)           That the Assistant Director of Legal and Democratic Services be granted authority to undertake a statutory consultation for the 2025 programme in accordance with the Local Authorities Traffic Orders (Procedure) (England and Wales) Regulations 1996;

(3)           That, having considered the officer recommendations set out in Appendix 1 to the report, the following schemes in the Waiting Restriction Review Programme 2025 be proposed for implementation, subject to the outcome of the statutory consultation (see (6) below):

(4)           That, having considered the officer recommendations set out in Appendix 1 to the report, the following schemes be removed from the Waiting Restriction Review Programme 2025:

(6)           That any objection(s) received during the statutory consultation be reported to a future meeting of the Sub-Committee for an outcome decision.
