Hollybush North
In this section
A consultation for parking in Hollybush North began in February 2023.
The area will only cover the northern section of the Ward including:
- Chequers
- Homestead Lane
- Hunters Way
We will by default consider double yellow lines on junctions to improve junction vision underpinning the Highway Code, as well as verge and footway prohibition to improve the streetscene and access for pedestrians.
As we received a low response rate from properties, we sent a reminder letter in June 2023 inviting those who didnt reply to take part.
Feedback stage
We carried out a parking consultation survey in March 2023 resulting in a low response rate. We sent out a reminder letter encouraging residents to have their say which improved the response rate. The survey overall had 281 responses from a total of 998 properties (28%). We have a policy to progress to this feedback stage when it has passed 25% response rate. The data provided to us highlighted roads where residents expressed a level of concern relating to parking issues including footway and verge parking.
