Claremont Grove & Theydon Grove: Permit Parking Consultation
The Council has received two petitions from residents living in Claremont Grove and Theydon Grove requesting that new parking controls are introduced. This is in response to concerns over non-residential parking taking place in these roads, which can make it harder for local residents to park near their properties.
HAVE YOUR SAY
We are consulting you to see whether you would support new permit parking controls being introduced to protect local parking in your road for local properties only. A decision will be made based on the responses received to this consultation. It is important that you have your say. Please carefully read the information on this webpage before taking the survey at the bottom of this page.
HOW DOES PERMIT PARKING WORK?
New permit parking controls could be introduced by extending the adjacent Woodford A (WFA) Permit Parking Area into your road.
In a Permit Parking Area, on-street parking is protected for local permit holders only. You can only use your permit to park in the zone that your permit was issued for.
Permit parking signs would be displayed at the entrances to the controlled area to indicate that parking past that point is for local permit holders only, with smaller parking signs displayed on lamp posts as a reminder to drivers.
It is intended that any new permit parking controls would apply from 8.30am to 6.30pm, Monday to Friday (the same as the existing Woodford A Permit Parking Area). However, if you would prefer any alternative operating days or times this can be specified in the comments box when completing the online questionnaire.
There are usually no single yellow lines or permit bays marked in the road. Any existing single yellow lines would be removed for permit parking to be introduced. All existing double yellows lines would remain in the road on safety and accessibility grounds.
This means that permit holders would be free to choose their own parking place, as long as this does not cause obstruction. This maximises the amount of parking space available to local permit holders as it means households can park in front of their own dropped kerb when displaying a valid permit. It also reduces the visual impact that road markings can have on the street-scene.
Permit parking controls would only apply when parked in the main carriageway. You would not need to display a permit when parked on your driveway or when parked on any other private land.
