Results of the consultation will be considered in relation to the Council’s strategy for parking in residential areas. Financial Cost The estimated cost associated with the recommendations to this report is £2,000 and will be managed within existing revenue budgets for the Transportation Service. Relevant Select Committee Property, Highways & Transport Select Committee Relevant Ward Ruislip RECOMMENDATIONS That the Cabinet Member: 1. Notes the responses received to the informal consultation for a possible extension to the West Ruislip Parking Management Scheme Zone WR2; and 2. Approves statutory consultation to be carried out on proposals to extend Zone WR2 Parking Management Scheme to in Bembridge Gardens, Hamble Close, Helford Close, Seaford Close and Whitstable Close as shown on Appendix D. Cabinet Member Report – 02 June 2023 Page 1 Part 1 Public 3. Decides for the residents of Poole Close to be given another opportunity to consider being included in an extension to West Ruislip Parking Management Scheme Zone WR2 by way of a further informal consultation. Reasons for recommendation The recommendation reflects the majority of responses received to the consultation with residents and following extensive discussion with the local Ward Councillors. Alternative options considered / risk management The consultation with residents offered either the option of being included in an extension to the West Ruislip Parking Management Scheme or for no changes to be made to the current parking arrangements. Select Committee comments None at this stage. SUPPORTING INFORMATION 1. A petition was received by the Council signed by the residents of Whitstable Close, Ruislip requesting that a permit parking scheme be introduced in the road with sections of double yellow lines to ensure clear and safe acc ess for residents. Following discussion between the local Ward Councillors and the Cabinet Member, it was decided that as the request from petitioners was unambiguous, the Council could address the concerns raised by moving forward with consultation on possible proposals as opposed for waiting for a future petition hearing where the outcome was likely to be the same. As the road is on the periphery of the existing West Ruislip Parking Management Scheme Zone WR2 it was suggested that residents should be informally consulted on the option of joining the scheme. 2. It is the Council ’s usual practice when consulting on possible extensions to Parking Management Schemes to seek advice of the local Ward Councillors to see if they would be supportive of including any other nearby roads within the same informal consultation . This allows residents of neighbouring roads , who may be suffering similar problems with parking, the opportunity to also consider being included within a possible extension to the nearby scheme. Accordingly, following discussion with the Ward Councillors it was decided to also consult with all the other adjoining roads off Chichester Avenue as they could be suffering with the same issues as residents of Whitstable Close. 3. Attached as Appendix A is a plan indicating the current extent of the West Ruislip Parking Management Scheme Zones WR1 and WR2 and the informal consultation area. All residents within the shaded area of the plan were delivered a letter and questionnaire to indicate if they would support their road being included in a possible future extension to Cabinet Member Report – 02 June 2023 Page 1 Part 1 Public the scheme, along with a prepaid reply envelope so that they could return their completed questionnaire free of charge. 4. Responses received to the consultation are tabulated in Appendix B. There was a total of 79 responses received from 168 consultation packs delivered, representing a return of 47%. The summary of the responses received have been shared with the local Ward Councillors. 5. Responses received to the consultation indicate that the majority of residents who took the opportunity to respond from Bembridge Gardens, Hamble Close, Seaford Close and Whitstable Close would support the option of being included within a Parking Management Scheme. The single response received back from Helford Close also indicated support for a scheme. Following extensive discussions with the local Ward Councillors it is recommended that residents of Bembridge Gardens, Hamble Close, Helford Close, Seaford Close and Whitstable Close are formally consulted on detailed proposals for a possible extension to the Zone WR2 scheme. Taking into further account the comments made by petitioners it is suggested that double yellow lines be incorporated into the proposals with Whitstable Close to help prevent obstructive parking and generally promote road safety. The recommended formal consultation area is shown on the plan attached as Appendix D to this report. 6. Residents were given the opportunity to provide any furth er comments on the questionnaire that they felt were relevant. Attached as Appendix C is a table of all of the responses that were received during the consultation. Due to the number of different representations made it is not possible to address every concern raised. However, there were several common concerns that were raised which will be responded to in the proceeding paragraphs. Could residents also be included within both the WR2 and WR1 zone to allow parking to take place in the streets that form part of that zone? The Council is unable to grant a permit that allows parking within both WR1 and WR2 Zones. This consultation relates to Z one WR2 since the petition has originated from residents on the periphery of that Zone. The inclusion of Bembridge Gardens, Hamble Close, Helford Close, Seaford Close and Whitstable Close into Zone WR2 would form more of a cohesive area as opposed to being part of Zone WR1. The scheme discriminates those who do not have off-street parking facilities. The parking places in Chichester Avenue are normally empty. The Council doesn’t discriminate between the residents who have off -street parking and those who don’t. If the scheme is extended, then residents will have the option to apply for a permit to be able to park anywhere throughout the Zone WR2 scheme, this will give residents the opportunity to park on surrounding streets already benefiting from a scheme such as Chichester Avenue. Cabinet Member Report – 02 June 2023 Page 1 Part 1 Public We require special dispensation for the use of a vehicle that is not registered at my address. For the scheme to work effectively only vehicles registered to a resident’s address or where full-time use of the vehicle can be proved, will the Council issue a residents’ parking permit. My vehicle exceeds the specified maximum height for a parking per mit, can I be given special dispensation to apply for a permit as the vehicle is essential for my living. The vehicle height and length limits are applied to prevent commercial vehicles from parking within the scheme regularly. As these vehicles are on av erage longer than most cars resulting in less parking space and block light to adjacent properties, the Council has a Borough wide limit on permits to prevent commercial vehicles from applying for permits. We would prefer the scheme to operate for different periods of the day to allow greater flexibility to residents If residents of the Zone WR2 would collectively support revised scheme operating times , then the most effective way this could be considered is by way of a petition to the Council. Consultation could then take place to see if the overall majority who support different scheme operating times. Would like to be included in the WR2 Zone but for the current parking arrangements to remain as they are in my street The Council can only provide residents with parking permits allowing them parking within a scheme if that scheme extends into their road or directly abuts their property. Residents have been given this opportunity to consider the inclusion of their road into be included in the scheme, if resident do not support the inclusion of their road into the scheme, then they will not be eligible for parking permits. The introduction of the Parking Management Scheme in Chichester Avenue has displaced parking to surrounding str eets creating a parking problem elsewhere. The scheme from Chichester Avenue should be removed as on- street parking here never presented a problem. The scheme in Chichester Avenue was introduced as a direct result of a petition from the residents who live there. These residents when petitioning the Council indicated that they were experiencing difficulties with access and finding on-street parking. It is the Council’s usual practice to only consider the removal of a Parking Management Sch eme if the residents already within that scheme would be supportive of its removal. As a result , the most effective way that the removal of a scheme could be considered would be for residents of that road to petition the Council so that further consultation on its removal could be considered. 7. As there was no indication of support for a scheme to be introduced in Poole Close it is recommended that the parking arrangements here remain as existing for the time being. However, since most of the roads in the surrounding area could in the future become part Cabinet Member Report – 02 June 2023 Page 1 Part 1 Public of the Zone WR2 scheme, it is recommended that the residents of Poole Close are informally consulted again to give these residents a chance to reconsider a scheme in the knowledge parking may be displaced into their road in the future. 8. The Cabinet Member will be aware that the Council has formally proposed a Parking Management Scheme in some of these roads in the past, but these proposals were rejected on the basis of the responses received to that consultation. The Council urges residents to take the opportunity to respond to this latest formal consultation whether they are in support or opposed to the scheme to help the Council to come to the best decision for their road. 9. In summary, the residents of all the roads off Chichester Avenue have been informally consulted on the possible option of being included in a possible extension to the West Ruislip Parking Management Scheme. Following extensive discussions with the local Ward Councillors, it is recommended that where the majority of res idents who have responded to the consultation and indicated support, these residents be formally consulted on a detailed design for a proposed extension to the scheme. In Poole Close it is recommended that the parking arrangements remain unchanged for the time being and residents here are given a further opportunity by way of another informal consultation to see if they wish to reconsider being included in the scheme. Financial Implications The estimated cost associated with the recommendations to this report is £2,000 and will be managed within existing revenue budgets for the Transportation Service. If a scheme is subsequently approved for implementation, the costs will be eligible for capitalisation subject to the relevant Capital Release protocols. RESIDENT BENEFIT & CONSULTATION The benefit or impact upon Hillingdon residents, service users and communities? The recommendations of this report will enable the Council to progress proposals to the next stage of formal consultation o n proposals to extend the West Ruislip Parking Management Scheme WR2 to include Bembridge Gardens, Hamble Close, Helford Close, Seaford Close and Whitstable Close. Residents of Poole Close will be given a further opportunity to consider being included in the scheme by way of another informal consultation. Consultation carried out or required Residents in the area indicated in Appendix A to this report were informally consulted, however if the recommendations to this report are approved formal consultation will be required for the proposed extension to West Ruislip Parking Management Scheme in Bembridge Gardens, Hamble Close, Helford Close, Seaford Close and Whitstable Close as shown on Appendix D. Further informal consultation is recommended with the residents of Poole Close to see if they Cabinet Member Report – 02 June 2023 Page 1 Part 1 Public wish to reconsidering being included in a future extension to the scheme on the basis most of the surrounding area may in the future be part of the Parking Management Scheme. CORPORATE CONSIDERATIONS Corporate Finance Corporate Finance have reviewed the recommendations to this report and concurs with the financial implications as set out above. Legal The Council has conducted informal consultation in relation to the potential extension to the West Ruislip Parking Management Scheme Zone WR2. There are no legal impediments to the Council now conducting statutory consultation in accordance with the Local Authorities Traffic Orders (Procedure) (England & Wales) Regulation 1996. Should there be a decision that further measures are to be considered then the relevant statutory provisions will have to be identified and considered at that time. Infrastructure / Asset Management None at this stage. Comments from other relevant service areas None at this stage.

Outcome of informal consultation on a possible extension to the West Ruislip Parking Management Scheme Zone WR2 26 11 1 2 Number of responses Number delivered Response rateRoad Void responses Approximate Address Bembridge Gardens Bembridge Gardens Bembridge Gardens Bembridge Gardens Bembridge Gardens Bembridge Gardens Bembridge Gardens Bembridge Gardens Bembridge Gardens Summarised comments received during the informal consultation to extend Zone WR2 Only problem I have, that the flats which comes off Bembridge Gardens should not be included. They have private parking on their side but still park on our road. This makes it hard for residents to park their own cars outside along with people who are commuting Will we be able to park in both the WR1 and WR2 Zones? Having discussed with some neighbours the further possible extension to parking management all strongly object to the proposed further restrictions. This represents unnecessary and inappropriate parking restrictions by attrition. Parking management was introduced into Chichester Avenue during Covid and, at that time, it was not appropriate for us to fully discuss this and obtain a petition by going door to door. There have never been issues with parking in Chichester Avenue and the restrictions are unwarranted and inappropriate. The majority of houses in Chichester Avenue have off road parking and can accommodate two or three cars on their drives. The introduction of parking restrict ion has just put an increased pressure and burden on surrounding roads such as Whitstable Close. Not all the properties in surrounding roads have the luxury of off road parking or wish to add to the coffers of Hillingdon council by having to pay for unwanted parking management. Certainly if this scheme is pushed forward /for one will be discussing this with all my neighbours to not only stop the further introduction of parking management but to also have the management of Chichester Avenue removed. All roads consulted should be included otherwise parking will always displace to the next road. The current approach of piece‐meal makes the parking situation worse not better. Alter hours of operation Monday to Friday 1pm to 2pm. Whole issue caused by introduction of WR2 Zone which was not needed. But including more roads the issue is just being moved elsewhere. The scheme doesn't work and only creates more parking problems within Bembridge Gardens. How is this scheme justified when all of the properties within the scheme have off‐street parking . This is just money making scheme and has no interest on its impact to the residents. I do not and will not ever support a Parking Management Scheme in an area that such a scheme only serves to offer more problems than solution with no benefits. Chichester should never had a CPZ as all houses on that road have off‐street parking. The CPZ in Chichester is the reason for all of the current parking issues. The Parking in the Bays allotted to the flats is totally impossible, due to many in the other three blocks having one or more cars per family, also due to the HS2 works at west Ruislip Station, many of the Construction workers park from very early in the spaces in Bembridge Gardens, and Whitstable Close, and in Helford Close, leaving no possible parking tor those that live in the flats. All the Houses in Chichester Avenue, all have their own Personal driveways so it showed that All the parking in the street was from 'Outsiders' not even those who live here. If permits were permitted, due to the volume of cars would it then be possible to have a permit for WR2 and WR1? I can appreciate this is a major problem to sort out, but if the scheme was introduced, it would benefit those who live in Bembridge Gardens and deter those trying to free park, many who certainly do not live in this area. I look forward to a Positive outcome that will benefit myself and the Residents of Falcon Court, Kestrel Court, Merlin Court, & Heron Court We definitely don't need any further parking restrictions in our area. All residents in Chichester Avenue has off‐street parking. We are extremely inconvenienced by all of these unnecessary regulations. Summarised comments Approximate Address Summarised comments received during the informal consultation to extend Zone WR2 Summarised comments Bembridge Gardens Bembridge Gardens Bembridge Gardens Bembridge Gardens Scheme will cause problems for visitors if they stay overnight Whilst I sympathise with the residents of Whitstable Close and parking is tight in the surrounding roads. Often the larger houses have off‐street parking. We don't have this in Bembridge Gardens. I think any extension of this scheme will just shunt the parking problems elsewhere, I don't think contractors vehicles (often vans) and visitors are well enough provided for under this proposal. I am in favour of the scheme however I will need special dispensation as I use a van for my business which falls just outside of the arbitrary size rules you are wanting to impose. I often work nights meaning I am asleep during the hours you want to impose the permits. Refusal of a permit for my van will cost me thousands in parking fines, it will leave me nowhere to park. I have to carry heavy tools into my flat after each shift as my van has been broken into several times before so leaving it miles away is not an option. We do not generally have a parking problem in the daytime when the parking would be restricted. Our problems are in the evenings and weekends. Bembridge Gardens Pt A ‐Hillingdon Council seeks to portray its policies as universal guidance for the benefit of ALL residents. Pt B ‐ Contradicts the former assertion by indicating that Hillingdon Council knowingly institutes a scheme which would cause problems for a segment of its council tax paying society. Pt C ‐ Photographs of the actual situation (with numerous on record) showing the reality of the Parking Management Scheme ‐ ALL the houses in Chichester Avenue having offroad private parking ‐ with Bembridge Gardens and Seaford Close in specific being forced into congested parking areas. NB ‐ All the houses in Whitstable Close have off‐road private parking. Therefore given the above and the attachments it appears that Hillingdon Council is intent on creating a TWO TIER CLASS DIVIDE. The 'HAVES' and the 'HAVE NOTS'. The 'HAVES' ‐ have off‐ road private parking .. The 'HAVES' appear to be affluent by virtue of the type of property‐ furthermore the 'HAVES' do NOT a) have any problems with their parking, b) Or their guests/ family or potential work force. There is no need to have any form of permit other than the initial free one if so chosen. There is no need to have the problem of obtaining permits to add to the rigour of their daily lives and no need to pay for a permit People can come and go freely. WHEREAS ‐ the 'HAVE NOTS' ‐ do not have the luxury of off‐road private parking ‐ the 'HAVE NOTS' have to find somewhere to park on a daily basis ‐ it disrupts family life ‐ those with children, the elderly, small business and others ‐ every aspect of their lives. If they are forced to join the Parking Scheme these residents will have to a) obtain permits, b) probably pay for permits ‐ at a time of financial crisis, and c) continuously think about having permits for guests, family, workmen attending their property etc. So ‐ PLEASE EXPLAIN ‐ A) Why Hillingdon Council seems to be intent on prioritising the more affluent in society and penalising the less well oft? B) Why has Hillingdon Council not carried out a Review on the affect the Parking Scheme has had on the overall area before continuing to pursue the same agenda with a consultation on Whitstable Close AND in the process trying to subject the other roads to this scheme. Note the properties in Whitstable Close all have off‐road private parking. REVIEW The basis for such a Review could ‐ given the circumstances ‐ be the 'irrationality' of carrying out such a Parking Scheme in the area in the first place and of course the negative impacts on society. Given the above reasons the Parking Scheme ‐ could justifiably ‐ be removed. SUMMARY Good governance, duty of care and the BENEFIT to ALL residents in the area should have been the criteria for a Parking Scheme and the ONLY consideration. In this instance ‐ by virtue of the consequences of the Parking Scheme Hillingdon Council has not shown such diligence ‐ therefore please carry out a Review immediately. ************************** NB ‐ please note ‐ irrespective of the results of the Whitstable Close consultation ‐ all comments are being carried out under some form of duress ‐ and these are not necessarily a true reflection of the respondents true views ‐ many of the residents are growingly resentful and angry. Approximate Address Summarised comments received during the informal consultation to extend Zone WR2 Summarised comments Bembridge Gardens Hamble Close Hamble Close Helford Close Poole Close Seaford Close Seaford Close Seaford Close Seaford Close Seaford Close Seaford Close Seaford Close Seaford Close Seaford Close Seaford Close Seaford Close Seaford Close As a resident I feel we have been inconvenienced enough with the parking restrictions now present in Chichester Avenue where residents have perfectly good driveways. The same applies to Whitstable Close residents so I suggest you put yellow lines if they are not happy with cars parking in the close rather than inconvenience the rest of us further. Please consider the parking near the flats Nos. 1 to 36. The houses have their own off‐street parking as well as garages and therefore may not support a scheme. The parking problems are more acute near the flats where there is no off‐street parking available. I regularly call home in different work vehicles, leaving mine at work for the duration. It is therefore essential that I a have permit that I can use in multiple vehicles. There are only 6 parking spaces serving 20 homes on Hamble Close. I would like to point out that the 2 alleys off Hamble Close are private land divided amongst the houses. Typically houses ow the alley behind their garage. The access alleys are divided down the middle and belong to the adjoining houses; Nos 4 + 5, No. 16 + 17 respectively. Many residents and visitors use this as an overspill for parking. What they may not appreciate is that this concession could be taken away without notice by a current or future tenant. This would create an acute parking shortage for the road if we were not part of the WR2 Parking Management Scheme. Already there is a problem with commuters parking on our close, which will only get worse if other roads have restrictions and Hamble Close doesn't. This could potentially become a significant safety issue. We do not want this to cover the weekend or evenings please as this will affect our ability to have guests. We believe that houses should get two free permits. We are both on the Council tax roll, both own our house and so should both be allowed to park for free in our street. It is unclear if tradesmen need a permit. Most times they can park on the driveway but some may not be able to. Current residents park outside their houses. If permits were issued anyone with a permit could park which will affect privacy and security. I am strongly against having to pay for the privilege and worried/concerned strangers could potentially be parked outside house. I support the scheme being extended to Seaford Close. Parking has been displaced from Chichester Avenue and now we are unable to get a space in our road or park out on Chichester Avenue as we are not currently included in the scheme. The proposal is very disruptive and expensive. Does not support this extension at all. The main problem is HS2 contractors so getting rid of them into on site parking would improve things. I would support an extension that encompasses the flats as this is where the main parking problem exists. My driveway is near a corner so regardless of outcome I would welcome markings at the edge of my driveway to prevent cars parking up to the edge of my dropped kerb and preventing access to my driveway. Fed up with HS2 employees parking outside my house, one left their car for a week. HS2 said it is a worker and have told them not to use the road but this is ignored. The quiet close is full of cars, they drive in at speed and park everywhere. Commuter parking is also an issue. If you don't make Seaford Close part of the scheme please consider putting double yellow lines on all of the corners as sometimes the road is so restricted the dustcart has on occasions not been able to get around. 1) Seaford Close is in close proximity to both Ruislip and West Ruislip stations. West Ruislip station car park, in particular, is regularly full, leading commuters to park in surrounding roads. 2) With Resident Parking schemes now in force in both Chichester Avenue and Wood lane, Seaford Close is the nearest road with unrestricted parking and, as a result, is attracting commuters looking to park, causing significant congestion and accessibility issues. 3) More parking in the close causes not just congestion, but poses dangers, particularly given the number of families living in the close, whose children wish (quite rightly) to play outside. It also causes significant access problems for refuse collection and emergency vehicles. 4) Many of the houses in Seaford Close are now let as HMO, thus requiring parking for several cars. Please install electric vehicle charging points and increase the number of parking spaces within Seaford Close. Since the scheme was installed in Chichester Avenue non‐residential parking has displaced into Seaford Close. We struggle to park near our house. If WR2 is extended in Whitstable Close then Seaford Close should also be included. I hope that the scheme will be approved as it's desperately needed now that HS2 work has begun. I hope that this will reduce the parking issues. Approximate Address Summarised comments received during the informal consultation to extend Zone WR2 Summarised comments Seaford Close Seaford Close Seaford Close Seaford Close Whitstable Close Whitstable Close I haven't got a car but any parking along this stretch of road is inconvenient to my driveway entrance. Should I have a visitor or anybody else such as emergency services as my husband is housebound. Our original petition had double yellow lines within the area of driveways to allow delivery drivers to turn round and access + egress for all neighbours within the close. I would not want to pay for parking space outside my house or on this road because we do not get people parking around here because it is a no through road. Do not do it. I am against the proposed changes and restrictions. I am so sorry, as this has come up again, I voted against in the last petition and was delighted when although the vote was positive the plans did not take place. Please do not put parking restrictions in Seaford Close. Due to Seaford Close being in circular shape, the driveways are narrow and cars mostly swing over them. When introducing a scheme we request that you put yellow lines to avoid this. I strongly support the extension of the scheme to Seaford Close. Now commuters are returning to work in London parking on Seaford Close has become much busier.
