1. Could you please send me the amount of people who wanted these restrictions (numbers who voted yes and no) Public responses (if its in its hundreds then send me a direct link please if not (say up to 10 just attaching them to this email would help).

The views of local residents are already available on our website within the committee report to the Exeter Highways and Traffic Orders Committee on 29th April 2022.
Topsham Residents Parking Extension – Approval to Advertise
2. Grove Hill Topsham – please tell me how many people have applied and are using that area – and a response to WHY this road when so many (bar 1?) have drives that can hold 2 -4 cars each.
We do not hold information on how many vehicles are using the area.
A large number of residential properties in Topsham do not have off-street parking or on-street parking outside their homes or in their street and must use parking elsewhere within the community which is why restrictions have been extended to a large number of roads, including those where residents have off-street parking.
3. The process to reverse any decision taken by the council if proven detrimental to the area in any ways including its visitors and local economy.
Subject to funding and resources, any changes to the traffic restrictions would require approval from the local County Councillor and Chair of the Exeter Highways and Traffic Orders Committee and then require a new traffic regulation order in line with The Local Authorities Traffic Orders (Procedure) (England and Wales) Regulations 1996.
4. Can you please make these lamp post info sheets bigger, easier to read, more frequent especially making such a massive change to an area such as Topsham.
Comments are noted however, the notices we publish on site are not legally required but we choose to place them in the streets affected as we understand they provide a valuable tool in publicising new traffic restrictions.
They must contain a certain level of information to ensure we are publishing all of the information on the proposed restrictions. In the instance with Topsham it is recognised that this will be a lot of information due to the size of the scheme. Most site notices are much shorter due to the reduced size of scheme.
However, the notice does also include details on where to find more information, including physical copies of the documents and plans for those that that wish to look at more detailed information to help better understand the proposals.
The frequency of the notices will depend on the staff resources to place, monitor and remove them as well as the necessary available street furniture. Consideration is also given on whether there has been additional communications, such as direct contact with the properties affected.
