Overview

Winchester City Council as agents for Hampshire County Council proposes making a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) in Bishop's Waltham. The effect of this order will be to introduce no waiting restrictions along Free Street and Shore Lane, and bring the Traffic Regulation Order in line with restrictions on street in Eastways, Lower Lane, Malt Lane, Tangier Lane, Siskin Road and Park Road, Bishops Waltham.

On Free Street parking is proposed to be prohibited:

  • along the eastern side from Hoe Road to opposite to ‘The Stables’
  • on the western side on both sides of the build out (built for the Infant and Junior school pedestrian entrance), at the blind bend, and from the bus stop to ‘The Stables’
  • on Colville Drive, on both sides of the road, at its junction with Free Street.

On Shore Lane parking is proposed to be prohibited:

  • on the western side from its junction with Coppice Hill (B2177) to a point opposite No.6 Shore Lane, and at its junctions with Little Shore Lane and Shore Crescent.
  • on Follyfield, Cricklemede, Penfords Paddock, Little Shore Lane and Shore Crescent, on both sides of the road, at their junctions with Shore Lane
  • on the eastern side, from its junction with Coppice Hill (B2177) to a point opposite No.1 Shore Lane.

The new restrictions are being proposed to improve visibility, reduce obstruction, and to make the road safer for pedestrians including a significant number of children using this route for access to school.

The existing provisions of The Hampshire (Various Roads, Bishops Waltham)(Restriction of Waiting) Order 1987, the Hampshire (Various Roads, Bishops Waltham) (Parking Places and Restriction of Waiting) Order 2004 will be revoked and included in this Order.
