Consultation has concluded

This consultation closed on 15 March 2024, an update will be available shortly which will summarise the findings and next steps

Overview

The council have received a resident petition requesting the introduction of a controlled parking zone (CPZ) in Augustus Close, Brentford. The petition reports that as a result of the new housing developments in the surrounding area, along with the new retail stores that are planned to open on Brentford High Street, uncontrolled parking on Augustus Close will no longer be viable. Onstreet observations have also found a high density of parking in Augustus Close throughout the day.

The petition has been considered by local ward Councillors of Syon & Brentford Lock, who have agreed that a consultation be carried out with residents. Therefore, in response to these concerns, the council are commencing a preliminary consultation with local residents regarding the possible introduction of a CPZ in Augustus Close. We are seeking your views to determine whether there is support for parking controls, and if so, the extent of this support.

Consultation area 

Whilst the CPZ would only extend to the public highway in Augustus Close, the preliminary consultation is extended to include all properties in Brentford Dock, namely Augustus Close, including Galba Court, Leo Court, Maurice Court, Otho Court and Servius Court, and Justin Close, including Julius Court, Marcus Court, Nero Court, Numa Court and Romulus Court.

This consultation does not include any proposed changes to the private car park areas within Brentford Dock nor would occupants of the nearby new developments be eligible for parking permits in the event of a CPZ being introduced.

At this stage, the purpose of the consultation is simply to understand residents’ views on the existing parking pressures in Augustus Close and whether a CPZ would be beneficial.

How to respond

This is your opportunity to have a say on whether you would like a CPZ to be introduced and I would strongly encourage you to respond even if you do not experience parking difficulties and/or are not in favour of a CPZ being introduced.
