Have your say on the new restrictions
As part of our agreed monitoring period, we are now seeking views and comments from residents who live in Ellenbrook. A survey was open until Sunday 12th March 2023. We will publish our findings and any required remedial action later in April/May 2023.
What happened previously
On 10th March 2022, a report relating to these proposals and the objections made were considered by the Cabinet Planning and Parking Panel. Details can be found at Cabinet Planning and Parking Panel - Thursday, 10th March 2022 at 7:30pm - Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council Webcasting (public-i.tv)
The cross-party Panel agreed to progress with these proposals.
All objections and comments were recorded and duly considered along with the Parking Services report. 507 properties were consulted of which 218 responded, with nine formal objections received overall. Further details regarding the meeting including the report presented and objection responses can be found at: https://democracy.welhat.gov.uk/documents/s18780/Item 5b - TRO Ellenbrook.pdf
