The proposals, that follow concerns caused by dangerously parked vehicles and traffic on the High Street during school drop off and pick up times, include additional parking restrictions on School Road, as well as changes to the layout and restrictions on the High Street and nearby roads - providing more space for vehicles to pass each other safely.
In addition to a new one-way system to protect families and school children, new parking spaces at Upper Village Road and Queen’s Road car parks, and a new parking permit scheme available for people who live close to and own businesses on the High Street are proposed.
Plans being considered also include the introduction of new double yellow lines from the B3020 Sunninghill Road, leaving the High Street near Charters Lane and on Kings Road close to the post office.
Cllr Geoff Hill, Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport said the changes reflected the concerns of residents while improving access to the heart of the village: “These proposals for Sunninghill reflect feedback from local residents who told us that they want to see more done to tackle congestion and unsafe parking in Sunninghill and we want to hear from residents and visitors on them.”
The survey includes questions with drawings of each of the proposed changes that residents and local businesses can review.
Residents can have their say by 7 March 2025 on the council’s RBWM Together platform
They can also visit Sunninghill Library to view a copy of the drawings or receive help to get online, or contact parking@rbwm.gov.uk to provide their responses with their name and address including postcode.
