Parking will be restricted at various locations around Wokingham borough after residents asked Wokingham borough council to help make roads safer.
A council spokesperson said: “This will address the concerns reported about drivers parking at junctions and bends, plus inconsiderate parking at school pick-up and drop-off times.”.
The new restrictions will stop parked cars from blocking people’s views or creating hazards for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians.
Various measures are proposed in Arborfield, Earley, Finchampstead, Shinfield, Spencers Wood, Twyford, Wargrave, Winnersh, Wokingham and Woodley.
The council consulted on these restrictions and made changes based on your comments. Overall, there was strong support for balanced, well-enforced measures to improve safety while considering people’s parking needs.
Next steps on changes to resident parking permit scheme
A Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) consultation on changes to the borough’s resident permit parking scheme is now open for comments.
The council consulted widely last year and input was essential in shaping final recommendations, approved by the executive in November. Those policy decisions cannot now be changed.
This TRO consultation is open until February 12. to raise concerns you think have not been considered – specifically, in relation to traffic management issues like safety, access and traffic flow.
You can see more detailed documents and maps and take a short survey on our consultation hub.
