Roehampton High Street CPZ Consultation

Overview

We recently informed stakeholders of the Council’s decision to extend the Roehampton Controlled Parking Zone (R2 sub-zone) into Medfield Street, Treville Street and Ponsonby Road (11.00am to 12 noon Monday to Friday).

Since the majority of respondents from Roehampton High Street did not support the proposed extension of the R2 zone, and in light of the above, we want your views on how parking should be arranged to best serve residents, businesses and their customers.

Please tell us your views on the following sets of proposals:
 

1) Extending either the Roehampton R1 or R2 sub-zones to the High Street

Both the R1 and R2 sub-zones operate for one-hour and are aimed at deterring long stay/commuter parking. Residents and businesses would be required to purchase and display a permit during the one hour and this would entitle the holder to park in all roads in the sub-zone. It would remain unrestricted at all other times.

2) Installing some Pay & Display parking bays for shoppers (if a CPZ is extended into the High Street)

Pay & Display Only bays are aimed at encouraging turnover of vehicles, by imposing a short maximum stay; one hour for example, to aid the businesses and to cater for those wishing to park locally who are not eligible for a permit. These bays would require payment using Pay & Display facilities or the Council’s pay by mobile phone service. It is proposed that the existing 1-hour free bay outside numbers 27-35 would be converted to Pay & Display and a new bay could be introduced outside numbers 36-40.

3) Leaving the road uncontrolled

Parking would remain free and unrestricted. This option would not entitle you to purchase (resident/business/visitor) permits to park in the R1 or R2 sub-zones. Only residents and businesses with an address within the zone are eligible for permits.

By completing the online survey below, you will have the opportunity to let us know your views on the measures proposed.

How to respond:

Please complete the online survey below by the revised deadline of Monday 18 June 2018.

If you would like a paper copy of the survey please contact us at consult@wandsworth.gov.uk

The Council would like to demonstrate that any change has the support of local residents and businesses so a good response is very important. Please respond even if you don’t own a vehicle because parking controls can affect your visitors/ customers.

What next?

Your views are an important factor in helping us arrive at a decision. You should be aware however that this process is not a referendum. Officers will take all relevant factors into account before making recommendations to committee. We will write to you as soon as we have news of the decision and an update will be provided on the Council’s website here.
