Parking changes update #2

The Chiswick Area Committee meeting that was to address parking changes in the East Chiswick (EC) CPZ took place on 28th June as reported on this blog here. The item has been postponed until the next meeting on Tuesday 27th September 2011, the reason cited being that further consultation was needed.

As detailed in the documentation submitted (see Hounslow site) another option has emerged that involves extending the 3 street Thornton and Mayfield Avenues plus Upham Park Road zone retaining the current restricted parking hours of 9-19h. This extension could include neighbouring Ennismore Av, Merton Av and Homefield Road. The attraction of this is that a 6 street zone would be less restrictive on parking options.

Also buried in the detail is that splitting the EC CPZ requires £5,000 to £10,000 to be found and a loss in revenue of £60,000 from visitor permits. This money would need to be saved elsewhere by the council and must make the no change option very likely, at least for now.

Updates will be posted when we have them.
