Comment digitally on traffic regulations
Published: 1 July 2022
The Isle of Wight Council is publishing proposed minor changes to on-road parking in Ryde, Fishbourne, Brading, Bembridge, St Helens, Wootton and Seaview and as well as being able to make comments by the usual letter or email, residents will now be able to do so online on the local authority’s website.
The plans were drawn up and agreed with the police before consultation took place with town and parish councils as well as local councillors at the end of 2021.
The original designs were amended to reflect the feedback given where possible, and now a formal consultation is to be launched in the area before any decisions are taken.
The Eastern neighbourhoods that form part of the current consultation are the second phase of a six part Island wide review of local traffic regulations.
Colin Rowland, Isle of Wight Council’s director of neighbourhoods, said: “These changes are intended to make the roads in this area safer and easier for everyone to use.
"Most of the changes proposed are very minor, but we recognise a small change can sometimes make a big difference to local people's lives.
"This time we are able to offer the local community the facility of commenting digitally on their phone or computer, alongside the usual methods of writing or emailing the council.
"The online forms will be open to feedback on the proposed Traffic Regulation Orders from tomorrow, so people in Ryde, Fishbourne, Brading, Bembridge, St Helens, Wootton and Seaview can take a look at the proposals and submit their views by 29 July 2022.”
Signs with details of proposed changes will be displayed in every street affected, for example attached to lamp-posts and there will also be notices published in the local press and the online link is:
Highways - Traffic Regulation Orders - Service Details (iow.gov.uk)
It is also possible to obtain a copy of the changes by emailing pfi@iow.gov.uk. This is also the email address to send any comments on the proposals.
