What is being proposed

This Draft Parking Review Amendment Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) is proposed to revise parking restrictions on Station Road following a redesign of the station frontage. The Station Road project, which is improving the area to the south of Newbury Railway Station is part of a wider scheme of improvements around Newbury Station. This wider scheme has benefited from Local Growth Deal funding following a successful bid to the Thames Valley Berkshire LEP developed jointly by West Berkshire Council and Great Western Railway. The parking restrictions are a necessary element of the physical works to ensure turnover of on-street space and provide facilities for taxis and public transport and include the following restrictions:

No waiting at any time
No waiting except taxis
No stopping except for buses
On-street charging, pay-by-phone 8am to 6pm
Solo motorcycles only
