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.
