Worple Road Area 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 Worple Road ‘area’ controlled parking zone (CPZ) in April 2021, 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-Sunday, 9am-11am & 5pm-7pm, incorporates Algar Road, Byfield Road, Magdala Road, Tolson Road and Worple Road (between its junctions with South Street and Queens Terrace). 

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 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-Sunday, 9am-11am & 5pm-7pm and the intention was to remove ‘all-day’ non-residential parking. Whilst the council are aware of some concerns that the existing operational times are excessive, particularly in the evening, the council would welcome local feedback to help identify what, if any, changes are required. 

Existing parking scheme layout – the current scheme layout includes 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 ‘permit parking areas’ (where limited road markings have been provided). Local feedback would help inform the council of the suitability of the existing scheme layout and whether any changes should be considered further to improve or alleviate any known parking issues. 

The survey is also an opportunity for local feedback on any CPZ-related issues that may not be covered by the above topics.
