All representations have been carefully considered and the Traffic Regulation Order was amended to leave the spaces on Buddens Road, where the disabled bays were removed, without parking restrictions.

Overview

We are currently consulting on a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) for Buddens Road and Station Road in Wickham.

The TRO is to formalise the exisiting 'no stopping in school entrance' markings. This scheme has been requested by the school and suported by local councillors. The purpose of the TRO is to improve safety and pedestrian sight lines on access and egress from the school.

The scheme also proposes to replace the formalised disabled bays on Buddens Road with 'no waiting at any time' (double yellow lines). The residents of adjacent properties are no longer eligible for them  and they bays are positioned on a bend, close to the school entrance. The removal of these bays will improve driver and pedestrian visibility.

The replacement of formalised disabled bays with 'no waiting at any time' (double yellow lines) is proposed on Station Road for saftey reasons.
