SUPPORTING INFORMATION 1. A petition with 20 signatures representing 20 properties was submitted to the Council by some residents of Tudor Road, Hayes signed under the following letter: “I am writing to you regarding a matter of concern that affects the residents of Tudor Road, Hayes and to formally submit a petition for parking restrictions and permit parking in our neighbourhood. As a resident of Tudor Road since February 2007, I have witnessed firsthand challenges and frustrations caused by inadequate parking by residents from other neighbourhoods who come to our road, park inappropriately causing inconvenience to residents but also posed safety risks and hindered the overall quality of life in our community/road. After thorough discussions and collaboration with fellow residents of Tudor Road, Hayes, we have come together to address these issues and advocate for the implementation of effective parking restrictions on Tudor Road. Our petition signed by 20 residents reflects the collective voice and concerns of our community members. The primary reasons behind our petition include: • Safety concerns – The unrestricted parking situation has led to congested streets and obstructs visibility, increasing the risk of accidents and endangering pedestrians and drivers alike. • Accessibility issues – Limited parking availability makes it challenging for residents and visitors to find suitable spaces near their homes, often resulting in inconvenience and frustration. Cabinet Member Report 22 November 2024 Page 3 Part 1 Public • Neighbourhood cohesion – Implementing clear parking regulations will promote a sense of order and fairness within our community, fostering positive relationships among other residents and improving the overall liveability of Tudor Road. We passionately believe that the implementation of appropriate parking restrictions will address these concerns and contribute to the wellbeing of our neighbourhood. Enclosed, with this letter, you will find a copy of the petition, along with signatures of concerned residents who support our cause. We kindly request that the Hillingdon Borough Council carefully review our petition and consider implementing parking rest rictions, especially during school times, and after 5pm as us, residents find it very difficult to find parking between 08:30- 09:15, 14:45- 16:00, 18:00 onwards (Mon to Friday and 17:00 onwards on weekends) on Tudor Road to alleviate the existing challenges and enhance the quality life for residents. We are open to further discussions and collaborations with the council to explore viable solutions and ensure the successful implementation of parking regulations/permits that can not only help Tudor Road but also Hillingdon Council.” 2. Tudor Road is a mainly residential road comprising of semi-detached and terraced houses, many of which appear to benefit from off -street parking. Tudor Road shares its northern junction with Wood End Green Road, and its southern junction with Judge Heath Lane. Both Rosedale College and Wood End Park Academy are in proximity , which, as mentioned in the petition letter, can exacerbate the parking issues, especially between school drop- off and pick-up times. As the road is currently unrestricted, non-residents can park in the road without a time limit. A plan of the area is attached to this report as Appendix A. 3. The petition was heard by the former Cabinet Member for Property, Highways and Transport where the lead petitioner and local Ward Councillors were in attendance. At the petition hearing, the Cabinet Member instructed officers to add the request to the Council’s extensive Parking Scheme Programme for further investigation. 4. The petition also raised concerns of speeding in Tudor Road, requesting traffic calming measures to be considered. At the petition hearing, the Cabinet Member asked that officers commission independent 24/7 speed and traffic surveys to gain a better unders tanding of the real situation on the ground. The speed surveys were conducted for a week in May 2024, and the data indicated that 85% of speeds in Tudor Road were between 25-27mph. As most drivers were traveling on or below the speed limit of 30mph, no fur ther action will be taken about traffic calming measures in Tudor Road at the present time. 5. As a result of the petition hearing, officers arranged for an informal consultation to take place in an area agreed in liaison with local Ward Councillors. An information letter, questionnaire and a pre-paid envelope for reply were sent to every property in Tudor Road, Hayes. Residents were also provided with a plan of the informal consultation letter , which can be seen attached to this report as Appendix A. 6. A total of 152 consultation letters were delivered and households were given around four weeks to indicate whether they supported a possible parking scheme or would prefer no changes to be made to the current parking situation. 39 questionnaires were returned , Cabinet Member Report 22 November 2024 Page 4 Part 1 Public representing a response rate of 26%. Of these, 12 indicated support for a Parking Management Scheme and 27 showed a preference for no changes to be made to the current parking arrangements. 7. Residents were also given the opportunity to choose what days a possible parking scheme should operate. 11 responses favoured ‘Monday to Friday’, one preferred ‘Monday to Saturday’, and 12 indicated support for ‘Every day’. 8. In addition to the days the scheme should operate, three possible options for the times of operation were also offered to residents. One response was in favour of ‘9am -5pm’, 10 preferred ‘8am to 10am and 2:30pm to 4:30pm’, and 10 supported ‘9am to 10pm’. 9. A tabulated summary of responses is attached to this report as Appendix B. 10. Many residents took the opportunity to write comments in the space provided on the questionnaire. Residents in support of a scheme advised that there are lots of vans which are left parked in the road for a considerable amount of time, causing problems for residents, especially as m ost properties now have more than one car. Residents against a possible scheme disagreed that there were any parking issues within the road and advised that a scheme would instead cause a reduction in the parking availability. Residents also mentioned that households would struggle with the extra expense of permits or visitors' vouchers. 11. The results were shared with the local Ward Councillors who advised that it was disappointing to see only a 26% response rate, though it was clear that residents are in favour of the current parking arrangements and therefore they support the decision for no changes to be made. 12. Accordingly, it is recommended that officers take no further action in implementing a Parking Management Scheme in Tudor Road, Hayes based on the responses received to the informal consultation and discussions with local Ward Councillors.
