High Street, Cranford, 'area' proposed Controlled Parking Zone
Consultation has concluded
This consultation closed on 5 February 2024, an update will be available shortly which will summarise the findings and next steps.
High street ‘area’, cranford proposed controlled parking zone (CPZ) preliminary consultation
Overview
A petition was received raising the issue of non-resident and long-stay parking in the High Street, Cranford ‘area’, as defined by the list of the roads below, which is reportedly due to the close proximity of Heathrow Airport.
In response to these concerns, the Council are commencing a consultation with local residents regarding the possible introduction of a controlled parking zone (CPZ) and, therefore, are seeking your views to determine whether there is support for parking controls and, if so, the extent of this support.
Why are we proposing this?
The introduction of a CPZ would provide time-based restrictions on parking and allow for enforcement against any long-stay non-resident vehicles parked within the area.
The proposed CPZ consultation will extend to include nearby roads which may be subject to the same issue of non-resident parking: Avenue Close, Avenue Crescent, Avenue Gardens, Brunel Close, Cole Gardens, Hawthorn Close, High Street, Keysham Avenue, Lynchen Close, Park Lane, Sandringham Gardens, Sheepcote Close and The Avenue.
It should be noted that, whilst residents of Kavan Gardens and Kavsan Place are being consulted, the proposed CPZ will not extend to include those private roads and residents would be exempt from purchasing parking permits if a CPZ were to be introduced in the surrounding roads.
At this stage, the council are only seeking to understand whether there is support for parking controls in the roads consulted and, should there be general support for a CPZ, a further ‘detailed design’ consultation will be undertaken in due course.
