Howlands South

A consultation for parking in Howlands South started on 8 May 2025.

The roads being consulted can be found on the following page.

We have designed a quick survey asking for your views on the current parking in your area as well as ascertaining if there are any parking issues and solutions you are/are not in favour of. At this stage, no decisions have been made on parking restrictions.

As part of the process consideration is given to 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.

Online survey

The survey will be open until Friday 4 July 2025.

Double yellow lines

Will be considered for introduction at all junctions where not already in existence or where they may be required due to safety or access issues.

Verge and Footway Prohibition Order (VFPO)

We also consider prohibiting parking on public verges and footways where issues are reported, and where the carriageway is more than 4.5m wide, A VFPO also covers vehicle crossovers which form part of the public highway and where it is not owned by a property. Such restriction applies 24/7.

Advisory Disabled bays

Contact Hertfordshire County Council to apply for a disabled parking bay outside your home.

Next steps 

All responses will be considered, and an idea will be drafted to put forward to residents later in 2025. We will send a further letter setting out any ideas risen from the survey.

Further updates will also be available on this webpage.
