Queens Road parking zone consultation

Proposed Parking zone

In January 2017 we consulted a network of streets in the Queen’s Road area on the proposed introduction of a controlled parking zone. All properties within the study area received a consultation pack including the following:

• the consultation document ^{(PDF, 738kb)} (including frequently asked questions)
• a copy of the questionnaire ^{(PDF, 436kb)} (can be completed online or by post)
• a feasibility map drawing ^{(PDF, 2.1mb)} (showing the proposal street area)

Project process

The council has a thorough process to follow when deciding whether to implement a new parking zone. The key, past and future processes are summarised as follows:

• June 2016 - consultation methods discussed with Empowering Communities East Central
• January 2017 - informal consultation
• Autumn 2017 - decision making
• Summer 2018 - statutory consultation
• Winter 2018 - implementation of double yellow line at any time waiting restrictions subject to statutory consultation.

Consultation outcome

You can view a copy of the Queen’s Road parking study report ^{(PDF, 576kb)} containing a detailed breakdown of the consultation results.

Based on the results of the informal consultation, officers present the following options:

• to keep Clifton Crescent under review with an option to install a one road parking zone
• to not implement a parking zone in the remaining streets in the study area
• to introduce double yellow line waiting restrictions at locations where parking is deemed unsafe (eg at road junctions and across dropped kerbs)
• consultation pack ^{(PDF, 3.3mb)}
• additional comments ^{(PDF, 57kb)}
• Queens Road proposed double yellow lines (North East) ^{(PDF, 784kb)}
• Queens Road proposed double yellow lines (North West) ^{(PDF, 753kb)}
• Queens Road proposed double yellow lines (South) ^{(PDF, 794kb)}
