Welwyn West

We are consulting on proposed parking restrictions in West Welwyn and would like your feedback before Friday 6 February.

The roads covered by this consultation are listed on the next page.

Background

We received 50 requests over the past 12 years asking us to look into parking issues in this area.

We added it to our 2024/26 Works Programme.

A parking consultation survey was conducted from 31 July 2025 to 26 September 2025 and 565 out of 2,225 properties (25.4%) within the consultation area responded.

Based on the survey data and concerns expressed by residents to ward Councillors we are proposing the introduction of the restrictions shown below.

We want your views before making a decision on this.

Proposed Parking Restrictions

The proposed parking restrictions are for:

• Double Yellow Lines - Parking on bends and junctions was reported as an issue.

Double yellow lines will be considered for introduction at all junctions where they do not already exist. In line with the Highway Code, these markings would typically extend 10 metres from the junction to maintain visibility and safety.

These proposals apply only to the public highway and not to any private roads.

• No other restrictions, such as resident permits or verge/footway parking prohibitions, are being suggested at this stage.

Send us your feedback

To submit feedback on the proposals complete the online feedback form before  Friday 6 February.

You can also submit your comments to us in writing.

Disabled parking bays

If you need a disabled bay outside your home, please contact Hertfordshire County Council to apply.

Next steps

Once the feedback is received, we will review the proposals and make any necessary amendments.

We will then send a letter outlining the next steps and publish updates on this page.
