Proposals by the South Essex Parking Parternship to change parking restrictions in Burnham-on-Crouch, and elsewhere in the Maldon district, have been revealed.

The roads affected in Burnham-on-Crouch are Devonshire Road and Foundry Lane.

Also affected are Market Hill, New Street and White Horse Lane in Maldon and South Street in Southminster.

Notice of the order has been given by Chelmsford City Council, acting on behalf of the South Essex Parking Partnership, in exercise of the delegated powers of Essex County Council.

The plans include revoking the "No Waiting at Any Time" restrictions on part of the northwest side of Foundry Lane and the conflicting "No Waiting at Any Time/No Loading Monday to Saturday 8am-9.30am" restrictions on part of the east side of Market Hill.

The traffic authority has also proposed to introduce "No Waiting at Any Time" restrictions on different parts of the northwest side of Foundry Lane, part of the southwest side of Devonshire Road and a section of the west side of South Street.

Introducing "No Waiting 8.30am-6pm" restrictions on part of the northeast side of Devonshire Road has also been proposed.

Additionally, the order includes replacing the "No Waiting Monday to Saturday 8am-6pm" with "No Waiting at Any Time" restrictions on parts of the north and south sides of New Street, sections of both sides of the southern arm of New Street and parts of White Horse Lane.

The South Essex Parking Partnership proposed to make the order following a parking review of the specified roads, in efforts to improve sightlines and better facilitate the passage of traffic in the areas.

In the proposal documents, it states: "Concerns have been raised regarding obstructive parking that affects sightlines on Devonshire Road between the junctions of Station Road and Lillian Road.

"In order to address this issue, it is proposed to extend the existing 'No Waiting at Any Time' restrictions on the south side of Devonshire Road by 15 metres westwards (removing two parked vehicles), to improve sightlines and allow vehicles to pull in and pass one another.

"Additionally, it has been agreed to propose an extension of the 'No Waiting 8.30 – 6pm' restrictions on the north side of Devonshire Road eastwards [to] ensure free flow of traffic during peak times."

It adds: "Concerns have been raised regarding obstructive parking on Foundry Lane in the vicinity of Fairway Drive.

"It is therefore proposed to introduce 'No Waiting at Any Time' restrictions on the north side of Foundry Lane opposite Fairway Drive and relocate the existing 'No Waiting at Any Time' restrictions on Foundry Lane to a more central location to provide a more appropriate passing place."
