There are a number of stages involved in the review, and these are explained below.
The current stage is: Authorisation

Introduction
Beginning in July and continuing through August we carried out assessments on-street of the parking issues across the borough once again. These were issues of concern that had been brought to our attention largely by members of the public, the police, councillors and highway officers since the previous review took place. We visited, assessed, and prioritised requests for new or amended parking controls in different locations across the borough.
Authorisation
Locations were assessed and sent to County Councillors for their agreement to advertise in September 2024.
Advertising and objections
All the councillor approved proposals will then be advertised by public notice for 28 days.
When this process begins, public notices will be put up in every location where changes to on-street parking are proposed. The notices will display information on where the drawings can be seen, how you can submit your views and when the end date is. Those properties fronting the section of street where changes are proposed will be written to individually.
A legal notice will be published in a local newspaper.
You will also be able to submit your views via a link to a feedback form that will appear on this page at the time.
Once the 28 day advertising period has ended, all the feedback received will be compiled into a report.
Approval
The report divided by county councillor division and proposal will have an initial recommendation on how to proceed, taking any feedback received into account. It will then be distributed to the Guildford county councillors and the Traffic Enforcement and Parking Team manager to read. Councillors and/ or The Traffic Enforcement and Parking Team Manager after talking with officers may change an initial recommendation or not proceed with a proposal at all. Once all recommendations have been agreed, the final decisions is report written.
The Decisions report is published on this page. Everybody who participated during the advertising stage of the process will be notified when the report is available to read. For those who wrote in, a copy of the report is posted out to them.
Implementation
Lining and signing orders to install the agreed changes on the streets of Guildford will then be raised with our contractors.
A final traffic regulation order (TRO), will be written and published. This will make all the agreed changes to parking restrictions enforceable by patrolling officers.
