Chiswick Station Controlled Parking Zone Review
This consultation closed on 22 December 2023, an update will be available shortly which will summarise the findings and next steps.
Overview
Following the introduction of the Chiswick Station controlled parking zone (CPZ) in September 2019, the council is now commencing a review of the scheme to understand the views of those who live or work within the zone on the effectiveness, or otherwise, of the CPZ and whether changes are required.
The CPZ, which operates between Monday-Friday, 10am-Noon, incorporates Bolton Road, Cavendish Road, Coniston Close, Devonshire Gardens, Grove Park Road (the east to west arm), Hartington Road (south of the east to west arm of Grove Park Road), Kinnaird Avenue, Spencer Road, Station Approach Road, Station Gardens and The Lindens.
The survey primarily focuses on the three aspects detailed below, but all views on the existing scheme are welcomed.
Has the CPZ improved the parking situation – is the CPZ is having the desired effect of removing all day, non-residential parking and increasing parking provisions for residents, local amenities and associated visitors or, alternatively, have the parking controls had a negative impact in the area.
Operational times of the CPZ – the current operational times of the CPZ are Monday-Friday, 10am-Noon and the intention was to remove non-residential parking typically associated with ‘all-day’ users such as commuters. Whilst it is anticipated that the existing controls remain appropriate and ensure adequate flexibility for visitors to park outside of the operational times, it may be the case that alterations to these times should be considered.
Existing parking scheme layout – the current scheme layout incorporates both ‘resident permit’ and ‘shared-use’ (permit holders and ‘pay to park’ users) parking bays along with single and double yellow lines, as well as incorporating a number of ‘permit parking areas’ (where no road markings have been provided). Local feedback would help inform the council as to any changes that may need to be proposed to resolve or reduce any parking issues that continue to occur or have arisen since the scheme was introduced.
The survey is also an opportunity for local feedback on CPZ-related issues that may not be covered by the above topics.
