Director for Highways, Transport, and Regulatory Services
Kingston Council committees are currently making decisions on traffic management and parking schemes, areas overseen by the Director for Highways, Transport, and Regulatory Services.
Kingston Council's Place Committee scrapped a proposed zebra crossing on Coombe Lane West in September 2026, following safety concerns raised by the Metropolitan Police and local residents. Earlier in March 2026, the Surbiton Neighbourhood Committee approved measures to address long-standing parking and access issues on Verona Drive, including formalising paved verge parking and introducing designated passing places.
The Director for Highways, Transport, and Regulatory Services, who heads the department responsible for road infrastructure and transportation, previously approved changes to the Berrylands Area Healthy Streets Scheme in November 2025. This decision, made in consultation with local councillors, addressed objections to the Traffic Management Order, including the installation of double yellow lines in Surbiton Hill Park.
