Select Committee comments None at this stage. SUPPORTING INFORMATION 1. The Cabinet Member for Planning, Housing and Growth will be aware of the petition submitted to the Council from residents of Harmondsworth Road, West Drayton requesting an extension to the nearby Parking Management Scheme ‘Zone WD7’. The petition advised that residents have been experiencing issues with non -residential parking which have exacerbated since the residents’ parking scheme was implemented on the opposite side of Harmondsworth Road in 2021. 2. The existing West Drayton Parking Management Scheme ‘Zone WD7’ was originally introduced as a result of a petition and subsequent informal and formal consultations by residents, who advised that parking controls would help prevent non-residential parking from drivers such as commuters or holidaymakers to Heathrow Airport , which is in close proximity. 3. The most recent petition was signed by residents on the opposite side of Harmondsworth Road ( the odd numbered properties) and was heard by the former Cabinet Member for Property, Highways and Transport , who instructed officers to add the request to the Council’s extensive Parking Scheme Programme for further investigation. 4. An informal consultation was undertaken with residents in an area agreed in liaison with local Ward Councillors. This included residents in the area seen in the plan attached to this report as Appendix A. 5. A total of 95 letters were delivered to residents. A total of 23 responses were received, with 18 responses indicating support for a possible extension to the scheme, and 5 indicating that they would prefer no changes to the current parking arrangements. Following discussions with local Ward Councillors, the decision was made for officers to prepare a detailed scheme design to formally consult upon with residents. 6. The 21-day statutory consultation was subsequently undertaken in the usual manner. The formal consultation started on 30 th October 2024 and ended on 20th November 2024. Public Cabinet / Cabinet Member Report – 29 January 2025 Page 3 Part 1 Public notices were displayed on site and the proposals were advertised in the local newspaper with details on how to comment on the scheme. Residential households included in the consultation were sent a plan of the proposals and a letter explaining how they could comment on the scheme extension if they would like their views to be considered. 7. During this time, 3 responses were received, all of which objected to the proposed extension to the West Drayton Parking Management Scheme ‘Zone WD7’. All of the comments received are attached to this report as Appendix B. 8. One resident advised that they did not feel that parking i s an issue as they have always managed to find a parking spaces in Harmondsworth Road and Wordsworth Way. It was also mentioned that the cost which would fall onto residents is too high, with one resident advising that at the time of the petition the cost of permits was much lower than the current price and they feel that a parking scheme would negatively impact residents. 9. All of the comments received during the formal consultation have been shared with local Ward Councillors, who have not expressed a view at the present time. 10. In conclusion, following discussions with local Ward Councillors and consideration of the responses received to the formal consultation for a proposed extension to the residents’ permit parking scheme, it is recommended that no further action is taken in extending the West Drayton Parking Management Scheme ‘Zone WD7’ into Harmondsworth Road and Wordsworth Way at the present time.
