Parking changes update #1

The Council's timetable for a decision on East Chiswick Controlled Parking Zone (EC CPZ) has slipped from May and the target is now the June 28th meeting of the Area Committee  at 7:30 pm Chiswick Town Hall. There is little new information other than neighbouring Thornton and Mayfield Avenues have the Council's analysis of parked vehicle survey data confirming that a significant number of vehicles from elsewhere in the EC CPZ park on their streets. This is the main reason why they understandably pressing for a smaller zone.

The Council have not shared proposed solutions and this may not happen before the Area Committee meeting. Feedback from residents has been limited, but mainly supports the status quo. The Council have their 2008/9 review survey data where the majority of UPR residents favoured retention of the current restricted hours of 9-19h - see here on this site for more background.

The outcome at the Area Committee meeting could be: -

1. A 3 street zone on current restricted parking hours 9-19h (i.e. Thornton and Mayfield Avenues plus Upham Park Road)
2. Shorter restricted hours (perhaps 10-12h and 14-16h) with the EC CPZ loosing Thornton/Mayfield
3. EC CPZ loosing Thornton/Mayfield but otherwise no change for Upham Park Road
4. No change - perhaps unlikely given that this has been a Thornton/Mayfield concern for years.

Richard Palmer has the June 28th meeting in his diary. When we hear more we will pass it on.

If residents have any further views on this then they can be recorded as a comment to this entry.
