SUPPORTING INFORMATION
1. Park Way is a busy road connecting Field End Road with Victoria Road, and is mainly
residential, with a few shops and businesses at either end within Manor ward, within walking
distance of Ruislip Manor underground station and the shops in Victoria Road.
2. Council officers were approached by a resident in Park Way who produced a petition with
20 signatures, which the lead petitioner subsequently agreed with officers could be progressed
without the recourse of a formal petition hearing. The petitioners were concerned with cars
and vans parking near the bend in Park Way, expressing the view that this made it unsafe
when exiting their properties, and also claiming that there had been a number of near misses
of potential head-on collisions, where traffic going around the parked vehicles would meet
oncoming vehicles due to a lack of forward visibility. Consequently, a detailed site investigation
was undertaken by the Council, proposals were developed to prevent parking which can be
seen in the plan attached as Appendix A.
3. The proposal was taken through the statutory 21-day consultation process which involved
the placing of advertisements in the local press, the London Gazette and the display of public
notices on site.
4.
During the consultation the Council received one objection from a local resident to the
proposed waiting restriction being placed outside his property , as this was the opposite end
to the bend in the road; the resident was, however, happy to withdraw their objections if the
Council reduced the proposed double yellow lines slightly, with no adverse effect on safety.
5. The plans have been amended accordingly (see Appendix B ) and will need to be re -
advertised and the traffic order amended.
Financial Implications
The cost associated with the recommendations to this report are £390 and will be funded through
the existing Transportation revenue budget.

RESIDENT BENEFIT & CONSULTATION
The benefit or impact upon Hillingdon residents, service users and communities?

Statutory consultation was carried out by the insertion of public notices in a local newspaper and
displayed on site.
CORPORATE CONSIDERATIONS
Corporate Finance
Corporate Finance has reviewed this report and concurs with the financial implications set out
above.
Legal
The decision makers must ensure that there is full consideration of the representations that have
been received. In exercising the power to approve the proposal for waiting restrictions on Park
Way, Ruislip the Council have to consider their power to make an order creating a waiting
restriction is set out in Part I of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984. It is noted from the report
that the introduction of waiting restrictions are for a reduced length in Park Way Ruislip.
The consultation and order making statutory procedures that should be followed in this case are
set out in The Local Authorities’ Traffic Orders (Procedures) (England and Wales) Regulations
1996 (SI 1996/2489).
If the decision is taken to make the proposed order, Part V of the Road Traffi c Regulation Act
1984 and the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2016 set out the signage
requirements, which must be observed.
In considering consultation responses , section 122 of the Road Traffic Regulations Act 1984
means that the Council must balance the concerns of the objectors with the statutory duty to
secure the expeditious, convenient and safe movement of vehicular and other traffic.
There are a set of well-established common law rules which set out the requirements of a lawf ul
public consultation which are known as the Gunning principles. They were endorsed by the
Supreme Court in the Moseley case.
The principles can be summarised as follows:
Consultation should occur when proposals are at a formative stage;
Consultations should give sufficient reasons for any proposal to permit intelligent consideration;
Consultations should allow adequate time for consideration and response;
Cabinet Member Report – XX November 2021 Page 4
(Part 1 Public)
The product of consultation should conscientiously be taken into account by the decision maker.
There are a very significant number of judicial review cases which involve successful challenges
to the lawfulness of a consultation undertaken by a public authority so it is imperative that the
Gunning principles are closely followed in this case.
