New double yellow lines and parking restrictions could be painted all over Wokingham borough under an order set to be signed by the council.
Wokingham Borough Council says the restrictions – located at nearly 60 locations – are set to be brought in after residents and councillors requested them.
But not everyone is happy with the proposals – as 77 people wrote in to object to some of the proposals during a consultation. However, some 85 people also wrote to support the proposals.
Council highways officers agreed to drop plans for double yellow lines on Colemans Moor Road in Woodley, and to install single yellow lines on a section of London Road in Bulmershe and Whitegates. This is after 22 and 30 people objected to those schemes respectively.
The other new restrictions set to be brought in are listed below. Councillor Paul Fishwick – responsible for roads – is set to approve them on Thursday, January 18.
