Ivybridge Close is a set of three cul- de-sacs with a total of 34 properties within Colham & Cowley Ward. It leads onto Kingston Lane, a main route between Hillingdon Hill and Pield Heath Road. A plan of the area is shown on Appendix A to this report. 2. The Council received a request from a resident of the road for the existing double yellow lines on the northern cul -de-sac of the road to be extended to remove obstructive parking. As a consequence, a detailed site investigation was undertaken by Council officers. 3. Officers observed that there were private parking bays and vehicles parked in between parking bays and dropped kerbs restricting access to them. This area is used as a turning area for vehicles. 4. As a result of the site observations, a proposal was developed to extend the double yellow lines down to the parking bays in order to keep this area clear. The proposed ‘at any time’ waiting restrictions are shown on the plan attached as Appendix B of this report. 5. An informal consultation took place with the residents in the northern cul -de-sac and the results showed of the 8 residents consulted 3 supported it while 3 were against. 6. The former 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 5 objections. 7. The first objector stated "This is much ado about nothing as no one is vying for spaces and to my knowledge no one has ever been blocked in. such a waste of money.” 8. The second objector stated “I would like to advise I am against the painting of yellow lines outside of No 34 Ivybridge Close. These are not needed and we have no issues with parking Cabinet Member Report – 9 January 2025 Part 1 Public there unlike the main areas around the close. This is a complete waste of council time, money and resources that would be better spent elsewhere in the community. It has already been dealt with by our managing agent. “ 9. The third objector stated “We would be AGAINST the painting of additional yellow lines.” 10. The fourth objector stated “This is a small quiet close with residents and visitors parking. I am not aware of any issues and if there are problems, I would expect it is something that could be sorted out by those concerned. As far as I am concerned this seems to be a waste of Council time and money and the fact that this is a second request is of great concern. I would have thought that there were more important considerations. I would like to raise my objections as a council taxpayer.” 11. The fifth objector stated “It is totally unnecessary and a complete waste of council funds. Nobody ever parks in front of no.34.” 12. The local Ward Councillors have been consulted and, in light of the objections receive, both have indicated that they do not support an extension to the yellow lines at the current time. 13. After careful consideration of the comments received from the statutory consultation and from the local Ward Councillors, it is recommended that the Cabinet Member agrees not to proceed with the proposed ‘at any time’ waiting restrictions in Ivybridge Clos e in Appendix B to this report, but to keep the area under review.
