The County Council regularly receives requests for waiting restrictions to be introduced or amended. These can be difficult to deliver due to resource and funding pressures. This can then have a negative impact on the County Council’s relationship with local communities.
Recognising this difficulty, a managed process has been developed to deliver an Annual Local Waiting Restriction Programme for each Highways and Traffic Orders Committee (HATOC) area, for the funding and delivery of waiting restriction schemes.
In 2019, Cabinet has allocated an amount of £100,000 countywide from the On-Street Parking Account which equates to an amount of £12,500 to each of the eight HATOC areas.
For details of the proposals for each of the HATOC areas please see below. A copy of the latest articles that apply to all of the proposed restrictions can be found in Devons waiting restriction Consolidation Order.
