Overview
The Council is undertaking a parking consultation in the Whitton area as part of a review of parking in the locality.
This “1st Stage” consultation follows consideration of comments, including petitions received by the Council from residents of six roads in this area (Brittannia Lane, Camellia Place, Constance Road, Mayfair Avenue, Melrose Avenue and Tranmere Road), concerning the difficulties they say they face in finding a parking space near to their home. It is understood that these difficulties are primarily caused by the parking of vehicles by non-residents (all day commuters and long stay parking).
We are seeking feedback from residents and businesses in this area (a map showing the consultation boundary is attached below) on whether they would wish to see a Community Parking Zone (CPZ) implemented; and, if so, what days and hours it should operate.
The consultation boundary comprises a number of roads in this area, including properties on the west side of the High Street, though no changes are being proposed in the High Street itself.
In order to satisfy the criteria for introducing a CPZ, consultation results must show that over 50% of the total households within the consultation boundary are in favour. If the results of this consultation show sufficient support for a CPZ, the Council will proceed to a “2nd” Stage consultation seeking feedback on specific proposals for a new CPZ.
If a CPZ is introduced in this area, residents, their visitors and businesses wishing to park on street will be required to purchase / display a valid parking permit. The costs of these permits are dependent on the hours of operation and the current costs are:-
