Hatfield South and East

The area includes south Bishops Rise, Garden Avenue, Travellers Lane and the "Wildlife roads" as well as a small section of Colney Heath. We asked residents between July 2023 and October 2023 to give us their views via an online survey about what parking changes they would like to see.

An idea letter was sent out in February 2024 to residents outlining our ideas based upon initial survey data, and we spoke with ward councillors in relation to ideas set out. At this stage NO decision has been made.

Letters have been sent to residents in late October 2024 to notify of the formal proposal stage relating to permit zones for South Hatfield (Bishops Rise/Garden Avenue) and for various roads for double yellow lines and verge and footway prohibition.

A Public Notice was advertised on Wednesday 30 October 2024, with objections open until Friday 22 November 2024 which set out details of formal proposals.

Next steps 

All comments and objections have been considered in relation to these proposals.

Objections received were presented by Parking Services in a report to Cabinet Planning and Parking Panel on Tuesday 19 February 2025 at 7:30pm in the Council Chamber, Campus East, Welwyn Garden City AL8 6AE. The proposals were agreed and parking restrictions started on Monday 12 May 2025.
