The change, made by the Sutton Council, came into force on March 17 and is part of the Sutton (Parking, Waiting, Loading and Stopping Restrictions) (Amendment No. 21) Order 2023, under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984.
The Council said the principal objectives of the Order are to introduce disabled bays to provide a parking facility for disabled people where a high level of parking makes reasonable means of access difficult and to revoke those parking bays that are no longer required.
A copy of the Order and map schedules, as well as the Council’s Statement of Reasons for making the Order, can be inspected at the Council’s Civic Offices, St Nicholas Way, Sutton, SM1 1EA.
Copies can also be obtained by calling 020 8770 5000.
Any person wishing to question the validity of this Order or any of its provisions on the grounds that they are not within the powers conferred by the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, or that any requirements of the Act or any instrument made under it have not been complied with, may apply to the High Court.
This must be done within six weeks from the date on which the Order was made.
The Council has also reminded people responding to the consultation that the information they provide may be subject to disclosure to third parties.
