Darren Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what guidance his Department issues on (a) costs, (b) transparency and (c) enabling comments by people affected when Highways Authorities merge schemes which require the suspension of on-street parking bays into single Traffic Regulation Orders.

Answer

Mr Richard Holden

The Government has not issued guidance to local authorities in relation to making Traffic Regulation Orders. They must follow the procedures set out in regulations: The Road Traffic (Temporary Restrictions) Procedure Regulations 1992 (SI 1992/1215) and The Local Authorities' Traffic Orders (Procedure) (England and Wales) Regulations 1996 (SI 1996/2489).
