What is a proposed new parking control?
When the council proposes to introduce new parking controls or change existing ones, it has to formally advertise what it proposes to do. It must give anyone who wishes to comment on or object to the proposal the opportunity to do so.
The period during which such representations can be made is called the statutory consultation period and lasts for a minimum of three weeks.
Full details of notices can be viewed in this area of the website.
What happens during a statutory consultation period?
- At the start of a statutory consultation period, formal notification is made in the Public Notices column of the Watford Observer
- Notices are also put up on-site in the area of the proposed changes
- Depending on the exact nature of the proposals, letters or leaflets are often distributed to residents and businesses in the local area
- These notices specify the start and end date of the statutory consultation period
- They give details as to how representations can be made and direct you to locations where full details of the proposals can be viewed
