Borough of Torbay (Various Streets, Torquay) (Control of Waiting, Loading and Unloading) Amendment Order No1 2024

To implement the
parking restrictions contained within the above Order.

The proposals in this
Order are to assist with road safety and traffic flow at several
junction points across Torquay.

The proposals were
advertised in a Public Notice in the Herald Express on 4th
September 2024, a consultation period of 21 days was provided for
members of the public to submit any objections to the proposals,
notices were also placed out on site.

Two objections were
received in response to proposals for Powderham Road and Pennys Hill, which were reviewed
by the Cabinet Member for Pride in Place, Transport and Parking at
the Transportation Issues Cabinet Member Briefing Meeting on 12th
December 2024.  The one objection
received for Powderham Road felt that
the restrictions could be cut back slightly on one side of the road
to allow for an additional 1-2 spaces, it was agreed that the order
could be modified to allow for this slight change to the length of
restriction.  One objection was received
for Pennys Hill, however it was agreed
that the advertised restrictions were the minimum requirement for a
safe and compliant highway and should be implemented as
advertised.

No objections were
received regarding any of the other proposals.

The alternative was
not to proceed with the changes to the parking restrictions.

Highways will instruct
implementation of the required markings and signage.

“no waiting at any time” restrictions at junction
points on the
