Parking feasibility study carried out to assess parking impacts, demand, displacement and possible mitigation measures. The findings will be used alongside feedback from residents and businesses during the consultation.
Launch of consultation. Four-week period consultation with the public. All households sent a postcard in the area alongside lamppost wraps in the High Street and train station.
Community drop-in session held at Redesdale Hall on 25th June between 4pm - 6.30pm to gather further feedback and discuss specific issues and solutions from the community.
Submissions for survey feedback will be accepted until midnight 12th July. Hardcopy copy submissions sent by post will be accepted up to three working days after the closure of this stage.
Analysis of consultation responses and detailed feedback review to be undertaken. Key themes, concerns and opportunities are identified to help determine whether there is support for changes and what types of measures may be appropriate for the town.
Final report submitted, setting out findings, consultation outcomes, technical assessments and recommendations for next steps.
Using the evidence gathered through the feasibility study and early feedback, a series of potential options and recommendations are developed. These may include measures such as resident parking schemes, short-stay and long-stay parking management, changes to parking restrictions, improved disabled parking provision, electric vehicle charging infrastructure, cycle parking facilities and other transport improvements.
Detailed designs will be prepared for the preferred option that best represents the community’s demands. A statutory consultation will be undertaken to confirm the final designs and make any modifications or mitigations in response to feedback from the community.
Subject to consultation outcomes, funding availability, and any required approvals, agreed improvements will be duly implemented. Construction will begin shortly after with the community kept up to date on when changes will take effect.
