CENTRAL BEDFORDSHIRE COUNCIL PROPOSES TO AMEND NO WAITING AT ANY TIME ON ASPLEY HILL, ASPLEY GUISE

Reason for proposal: The revocation of existing waiting restrictions will increase the availability of on-street parking for residents of Aspley Hill, where off-street parking provision is limited. The introduction of waiting restrictions opposite Downham Road will maintain clear visibility and access at the junction, minimise the potential for vehicle conflict, and support the safe and efficient operation of the highway network.

Please note that the existing waiting restrictions subject to revocation were removed during recent carriageway resurfacing works. The Council is therefore undertaking this consultation retrospectively to seek the views of residents and other stakeholders before determining whether the restrictions should be formally reinstated or revoked.

Effect of the Order:

To revoke No Waiting at Any Time on the following length of road in Aspley Guise:-

1. A spley Hill, south side, from a point approximately in line with the south-western flank wall belonging to No. 12 Aspley Hill and extending in a north-easterly direction for approximately 90 metres, ending approximatley 10 metres south-east of the centre of the junction with Downham Road. To introduce No Waiting at Any Time on the following length of road in Aspley Guise:-

1.  A spley Hill, south side, from the centre of the junction with Downham Road and extending in a south-westerly direction for approximately 10 metres.

2.  A spley Hill, south side, from the centre of the junction with Downham Road and extending in a north-easterly direction for approximately 14 metres (ending in line with exisitng waiting restrcitons on the opposite side of the road). Details may also be viewed online at www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk/publicstatutorynotices 

Comments should be sent by e-mail to highways.consultation@ centralbedfordshire.gov.uk by 30 September 2026. Any objections must state the grounds on which they are made. All comments must quote unique reference number TRO-129. If you want to send in your comments in writing please send them to the address shown below FAO Emily Hirst.

Please note that any comments received will be redacted of personal information and uploaded onto the Central Bedfordshire Council website as part of a report on the scheme a few days before the proposal is discussed at the relevant Traffic Management Meeting, where it will remain in the public domain. If you do not wish for your comments to be part of the report please state this explicitly within your response.

Order Title: If made will be “Central Bedfordshire Council (Bedfordshire County Council (District of Mid Bedfordshire) (Civil Enforcement Area and Special Enforcement Area) (Waiting Restrictions and Street Parking Places) (Consolidation) Order 2008) ( Variation No.*) Order 202*”
