Welwyn West

This consultation started on 31 July 2025 because we received 50 requests over the past 12 years asking us to look into parking issues in the area. As a result, Welwyn West was added to our 2024/26 Works Programme.

You can find the list of roads being consulted on the next page.

Have your say

We created a short survey to gather your views on:

• Current parking conditions
• Any problems you've noticed
• What types of parking restrictions or solutions you support or oppose

No decisions have been made yet. This is just the first step in understanding local concerns.

What we’re considering

As part of this process, we may look at:

• Double yellow lines at junctions to improve visibility and safety, in line with the Highway Code
• Verge and footway parking bans to keep pavements clear and improve access for pedestrians

Survey status

The survey ran from 31 July to 26 September 2025. We’re now reviewing the responses.

Double yellow lines

These may be added at junctions where they’re missing or needed for safety and access.

Verge and Footway Parking Ban (VFPO)

We may restrict parking on public verges and pavements where problems are reported. This includes vehicle crossovers that are part of the public highway and not privately owned. These restrictions apply 24/7.

Disabled parking bays

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

Next steps

We’ll review all feedback and draft proposals based on what residents have told us. You’ll receive another letter later in 2025/2026 with any ideas that come out of this consultation.
