Rowditch Lane area parking consultation

Consultation on the possible introduction of a Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) in Rowditch Lane.

Background

We asked residents in the following roads for their views on the 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 Rowditch Lane, Blondel Street, Dagnall Street and adjacent roads requesting a CPZ in order to improve the parking conditions in the area.

Rowditch Lane, Sheepcote Lane (uncontrolled section), Culvert Road, Blondel Street, Longhedge Street, Henley Street, Astle Street, Dagnall Street, Anerley Street, Orkney Street, Millgrove Street, Kennard Street, Austin Road, Harpsden Street, Chesney Street, Parkside Street, Battersea Park Road (between Culvert Road and Austin Road) SW11.

Implementation

The new parking controls  came into operation on Monday 21 January 2019.

  • Parking bays were marked where it is appropriate to park and yellow lines where it is not.
  • Between 9am and 5pm, Monday to Friday only vehicles displaying a valid B7 CPZ permit (resident, business or visitor) are entitled to park in bays marked on the highway.
  • Any existing parking controls operating in housing estate bays (part of a Parking Regulation Scheme) remain unchanged meaning that only vehicles displaying a valid housing permit are permitted to park in those bays.
