Combemartin Road, SW18 parking consultation

Overview

Following the receipt of a petition from residents of Combemartin Road requesting the inclusion of their road in the Southfields CPZ to improve the parking conditions in the area, we are conducting a consultation to ask all residents in the road for their views. Any new controls will form an extension of the existing Southfields CPZ, S4 sub-zone, which operates 1.30pm to 2.30pm Monday to Friday, permit holders only.

The aim of a CPZ is to prioritise parking for residents and businesses by deterring commuter and other long-stay parking by non-residents, who are currently able to park for free and without time limit. It can help tackle problems with obstructed driveways/sightlines, congestion and make more space available for residents’ vehicles and those of their visitors.

Information which explains how CPZs work and the current costs involved can be viewed here.  

More information about parking permits is available on the Council’s website here.

Have your say

Please give us your views by completing the online survey below.

Only one response from each household is required.  If your household is unable to complete the survey online and you would like a hard copy of the questionnaire, please contact 020 8871 8050 and one will be posted out to you along with a pre-paid return envelope.

Should you wish to make any additional comments or have any questions  please email parkingpolicy@richmondandwandsworth.gov.uk and include the subject heading ‘Combemartin Road parking consultation’. 

What happens next

The Council would like to demonstrate that any measures have the support of local residents.  As a minimum we would want to see 51% of those households who respond to the consultation to be in favour of the scheme, with a minimum response rate of 25%.  However, the final decision will not be based on residents’ views alone.  A report will be presented to a future meeting of the Strategic Planning and Transportation Overview and Scrutiny Committee taking into account all relevant highway factors and subsequently to the Council’s Executive for approval.

More information about the process is available on the Council’s website here.

We will write to you as soon as we have news of the decision.  Updates will be provided on the Council’s website here.
