There are a number of stages involved in the review, as shown in the list above, and we are currently in the implementation stage.

Introduction

Starting in November 2024, we assessed on-street parking concerns across the district by carrying out site visits. These are the concerns that have been brought to our attention largely by members of the public, the police, councillors, and highway officers since the previous review took place. We assess the requests based on a number of factors, including road safety, accessibility, congestion, the possibility of just displacing a problem and how many people have requested a change.

After completing all the site visits, we prepared a report of our findings and recommendations.

Authorisation

We shared this report of our findings and recommendations with the County Councillors for the Reigate and Banstead and then following discussions with them, they have agreed and approved the proposed changes to parking restrictions in their division. Having reached agreement, we move on to advertising our intention to introduce the proposals, which is a legally required part of the process and allows the local community and road users to have their say on whether they agree with them.

Advertisement and objections

We formally advertised our intention to introduce the proposals by way of a notice in the 妖精动漫 Mirror on 17 July 2025. Around the same time, we put up street notices on site at each location, and sent a letter or flyer to those properties immediately fronting locations where changes were proposed.

Towards the bottom of the page there is a document called Reigate and Banstead parking review 2024 to 2025: Statement of reasons (PDF), which contains a description of all the proposed changes and why we wanted to introduce them. Underneath that are packs of drawings showing the proposals and the statement of reasons tells you which of the drawings shows each proposed change. In the statement of reasons the proposals are sorted by electoral division and then by town and the drawings are combined into packs for each councillor's division.

Following the publication of the notice in the newspaper, there followed a 28-day period, which ended on 14 August 2025, during which people could let us have their views about any of the proposed changes.

Approval

All objections, support and comment responses were compiled into a report, which included a recommended decision on how to proceed at each location. This was considered by the Parking & Traffic Enforcement Manager, following consultation with the county councillors, who agreed the final decisions. Anyone who responded to the advertisement was notified of the decisions by email or by letter prior to installation.

Implementation

The final decisions can be found in a report called Reigate and Banstead 2024 to 2025- Decisions Report (PDF) attached at the bottom of this page. We will now mark the extents of the lining on street and place an order with our contractor to install the necessary markings. The lining work is scheduled to commence in March 2026 contingent upon improved weather conditions, and is expected to be completed within six months after it begins. After the lining is finished, we will order signage for specific locations that require it. The final traffic regulation order, which will make all changes from the parking review legally enforceable by Civil Enforcement Officers, will be made and published close to the installation of lining and necessary signage.
