Council proposes crackdown on nuisance parkers

Parts of Croydon Road in Caterham will be included in the PSPO

A local authority in east Surrey is considering taking action to crack down on drivers mounting and parking on pavements.

Tandridge District Council is proposing to enforce a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) in parts of Caterham to prevent the "inappropriate use" of mopeds, motorbikes, e-scooters, cars, lorries and buses.

The order will apply along parts of Godstone Road and Croydon Road - including the service road leading to the Waitrose and Lidl car parks - as well as all of Station Avenue.

A online consultation into the plan, which would apply to both moving and parked vehicles, will run until the end of December.

A PSPO is a legal order used to help tackle anti-social behaviour in public spaces.

It is a tool given to the likes of councils under the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014.
