(Part 1 Public)
Reasons for recommendations
To improve access on Morris Avenue while maintaining parking for residents.
Alternative options considered / risk management
The Council could decide not to proceed with the installation of the ’At Any Time’ waiting
restrictions as advertised.
Select Committee comments
None at this stage.
SUPPORTING INFORMATION
1. Morris Avenue is a residential road within Uxbridge Ward. Morris Avenue is a no-through
road but with gated emergency access to the rear of Hillingdon Sports and Leisure
Centre. It is part of a small estate of four roads with Morris Avenue being the only way in
or out of the estate. A plan of the area is shown on Appendix A to this report.
2. The Council received a request from two local residents asking for measures to remove
obstructive parking on Morris Avenue at its junction with Worrall Lane. As a
consequence, a detailed site investigation was undertaken by Council officers.
3. Officers observed that vehicles were parking on the junction and both sides of the road.
These vehicles restricted access and sight lines for vehicles entering and exiting Morris
Avenue and Worrall Lane.
4. As a result of the site observations a proposal was developed to install double yellow
lines on the junction and further along Morris Avenue. This will still maintain parking in
the rest of the road but improve access and visibility. The proposed waiting restrictions
are shown on the plan attached as Appendix B of this report.
5. The Cabinet Member agreed to take the proposal through the statutory 21-day
consultation process, which involved the placing of advertisements in the local press and
the display of public notices on site. During this period the Council received one objection
to the proposal.
6. The objector stated "I would prefer no additional road markings, as in general it is not my
experience that most residents park inconsiderately, unless spaces on the road become
limited. This proposal will further limit spaces for residents. There were a couple of
occasions over a few days where a car parked in front of the house next to 21, but this is
an exception. The rest of the area is not used for parking.......This proposal will remove 4-
5 parking spaces on two roads with already limited parking. My fear is that by adding
additional yellow lines, obstructive parking will get worse. People will park in other areas
without lines, or block driveways. I believe a better solution would be to introduce
residents parking. It would need to be 24/7 hours due to the leisure centre.....”

7. After the consultation ended the Council received comments in support of the proposal.
8. The best way residents can request residents parking is through a petition. This way, the
Council can establish the level of support for a scheme.
9. The local Ward Councillors have been consulted and no concerns were expressed by
them.
10. After careful consideration of comments received from the statutory consultation and the
views of the local Ward Councillors; it is recommended that the Cabinet Member agrees
to proceed with the proposed ‘At Any Time’ waiting restrictions on the Junction of Morris
Avenue and Worrall Lane in Appendix B to this report.
Financial Implications
The cost associated with the recommendations to this report is estimated at £520 and will be
met from within existing revenue budgets for the Transportation Service.
RESIDENT BENEFIT & CONSULTATION
The benefit or impact upon Hillingdon residents, service users and communities?
The effect of introducing the proposed waiting restrictions on Morris Avenue and Worrall Lane
will be that access and safety is maintained whilst maintaining parking for residents.

press. Local Ward Councillors have also been consulted.
