The road has a side arm of 14 properties off the main part of the road. The road is located close to Meadow High School and Hillingdon Hospital. A plan of the area is shown on Appendix A to this report. 2. The Council received a request from a local resident asking for double yellow lines on the junction with the western arm to deter vehicles from parking there, restricting access and reducing sight lines. As a consequence, a detailed site investigation was undertaken by Council officers. 3. Officers observed that vehicles were parking close to the junction. These vehicles restricted sight lines and access in and out of the side arm of Gorse Walk. 4. As a result of the site observations a proposal was developed to install double yellow lines at this junction. 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 to 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 " we currently have three cars and I am registered disabled, with badges. Whilst I am happy for the yellow lines to be allocated, is 10 metres the shortest distance, as we have to squeeze our three cars there?....we do not have a drive, so it will cause us some parking issues.” Cabinet Member Report – 03 April 2023 Page 3 Part 1 - Public 7. The local Ward Councillors have been consulted and one has respond ed supporting the proposal. 8. 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 Gorse Walk in Appendix B to this report. Financial Implications The cost associated with the recommendations to this report is estimated at £4 80 and will be managed 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 Gorse Walk will be that access and safety is maintained whilst maintaining parking for residents.
