4. A copy of the proposed Order, of the Council's statement of reasons for proposing to make the Order, and of a map which indicates the length of road to which the proposed Order relates can be inspected until the last day of a period of six weeks beginning with the date on which the Order is made or, as the case may be, the Council decides not to make the Order, during normal office hours on Mondays to Fridays inclusive at the Enquiry Counter, "One Stop" Facility, Taberner House, Park Lane, Croydon, Surrey.

7. The Councillors for this Ward are Karen Jewitt, Tony Newman and Paul Scott.

8. The proposed Order is intended to convert existing shared use parking bays into 1 hour maximum stay 'pay and display' only parking bays in Portland Road.
