Dover House Estate parking consultation
Consultation on the possible introduction of a Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) in Dover House Estate.
For more information, read our guidance on how a controlled parking zone works.
Background
We asked residents in the Dover House Estate Conservation Area for their views on the current parking conditions where they live and whether they would support the introduction of a CPZ. This followed the receipt of a petition from some residents of Crestway and Huntingfield Road requesting a CPZ to alleviate difficulties they experience finding a space due to commuter and long stay parking by non-residents, including staff and patients of Queen Mary’s Hospital and students of Roehampton University.
Consultation
Residents were asked specifically whether they would like a CPZ implemented in the area and what hours and days it should operate.
Results
The consultation closed on Monday 18 December 2017.
