To implement the parking restrictions contained within the above Order.

The proposals in this Order are to assist the taxi trade with increased on street rank space in advance of the closure of the taxi rank at Paignton Railway Station as part of the Station Square regeneration works.  An additional loading bay and disabled parking will also assist with access to local businesses and amenities.

The proposals were advertised in a Public Notice in the Herald Express on 4th December 2024, a consultation period of 21 days was provided for members of the public to submit any objections to the proposals, notices were also placed out on site.  No objections were received in response to the proposed changes to the parking restrictions.

The alternative was not to proceed with the changes to the parking restrictions.

The required markings and signage will be implemented ahead of work commencing on the regeneration of Station Square.

The proposals are detailed within the “Borough of Torbay (Various Streets, Paignton) (Control of Waiting, Loading and Unloading) Amendment Order No3 2024”.
