Newport and Carisbrooke parking rules under review: Have your say now

Changes to parking restrictions covering multiple locations across the Newport and Carisbrooke area are included in a new consultation published today by Isle of Wight council.

The proposals originated through suggestions made by members of the public or local councillors and will be available for public to comment until 3rd November 2023.

The consultation contains details of draft Traffic Regulation Orders – these usually relate to changes to traffic issues such as double yellow lines, one-way streets or no right or left turns.

Jordan: We look forward to hearing what you have to say
Councillor Phil Jordan, leader of Isle of Wight council and cabinet member for Transport encouraged residents and businesses to respond to the consultation,

“It really can make a difference – and we are listening. 

“In the last few rounds of consultations on traffic orders, public comment has led to proposals being amended or withdrawn as has been the case in Cowes and Binstead recently, so please do get involved – we look forward to hearing what you have to say.”

Have your say
Isle of Wight council works with Town, Parish and Community Councils and local ward councillors to ensure proposals that are generated and reach this stage have already had some degree of public support.

Comments of support and objections can only be legally considered if a full address is given whether the response comes in by letter, email or by online survey.
