The general effect of the ‘Free Parking Places’ Order would be to:

(b) designate a parking place partially on the footway, 6.6 metres in length, at the location listed in Schedule 2 to this Notice, in which vehicles authorised by the Order may be left for any period without charge;
(c) designate a parking place fully on the footway, 6.6 metres in length, at the location listed in Schedule 3 to this Notice, in which vehicles authorised by the Order may be left for any period without charge;
(d) provide that the parking places would operate at all times, unless otherwise stated;
(e) specify, in respect of the parking places, that vehicles displaying in the relevant position, a disabled persons badge (commonly referred to as “the Blue Badge”) issued by any local authority under the provisions of the Disabled Persons (Badges for Motor Vehicles) Regulations 2000 may be left therein;
(f) provide that certain vehicles may wait in the parking places in certain circumstances, e.g. to allow persons to board or alight (maximum 2 minutes), to load or unload (maximum 20 minutes), etc;
(g) revoke the disabled persons parking places at the locations specified in Schedule 4 to this Notice;
(h) revoke the London Borough of Merton (Free Parking Places) (Disabled Persons) (Amendment No. 193) Order 2014 and re-introduce its provisions to better match current markings and signage.
The general effect of the ‘Parking Places Amendment’ Orders would be to shorten in length existing permit only parking places to facilitate the introduction of disabled persons parking place in certain roads or increase in length existing permit only parking places following the removal of disabled parking places in certain roads.
A copy of the proposed Orders and other documents giving more detailed particulars of the Orders, including plans which show the exact lengths of road to which the Orders relate can be inspected Monday to Friday during normal office hours at Merton Link, Merton Civic Centre, London Road, Morden.
