Gresham Road, 'area' Hounslow Proposed Controlled Parking Zone

Overview

Following a petition received by the council, about non-resident and long-stay parking on Gresham Road, Hounslow, the council are consulting on a proposed controlled parking zone (CPZ) for the Gresham Road, area.

What we are proposing

The petition reports that the road encounters commuter parking activity, and that individuals are leaving their vehicles for long periods of time whilst they use the nearby station. These issues are subsequently impacting on the availability of parking for residents and as a result, residents are now seeking the introduction of CPZ to resolve these parking difficulties. Whilst the petition specifically relates to Gresham Road, ‘area’, Hounslow, on-street observations have shown a high density of parking in a number of surrounding roads, therefore the proposed CPZ consultation will extend to include: Baldwin Gardens, Chamberlain Gardens, Gladstone Gardens, Gresham Road, Palmerston Road and Taylor Close.

At this stage, the purpose of the consultation is simply to understand residents' views on the existing parking pressures on their own roads and whether a CPZ would be beneficial.

It is quite possible that any parking problems may be confined to a smaller area than that being consulted, or that concerns extend beyond where complaints have been received or that there is no significant support for parking controls throughout the area.

Should there be general support for a CPZ, a further ‘detailed design’ consultation will be undertaken in due course.
