Select Committee Corporate Resources & Infrastructure Select Committee Ward(s) South Ruislip RECOMMENDATIONS That the Cabinet Member for Planning, Housing & Economic Growth: 1. Notes the results of the informal consultation for a possible extension to the Ruislip Gardens Parking Management Scheme ‘Zone RG’; and 2. Following discussions with local Ward Councillors and the Cabinet Member, asks that officers to conduct a further informal consultation with residents of Bromley Crescent, Ruislip with options for alternative operational times. Reasons for recommendations Cabinet Member Report – 17 February 2026 Page 2 Part 1 Public These recommendations are in line with the views expressed by the local Ward Councillors. Alternative options considered / risk management The Council could decide to take no further action. Select Committee comments None at this stage. SUPPORTING INFORMATION 1. A petition was submitted to the Council signed by some of the residents of Bromley Crescent, Ruislip requesting ‘permit parking along the whole street on Bromley Crescent, Ruislip.’ from ‘Monday to Sunday’ . The petition was accompanied by a letter which expressed how the residents of Bromley Crescent have found it increasingly difficult to find parking in the road, and a permit parking scheme would therefore help alleviate the issues that residents have been experiencing from non-residential parking. 2. Bromley Crescent is a residential road sharing its junctions with Stafford Road. The road can be access via its junctions with Stafford Road, but also via the footpaths around the playground from Acorn Grove, Trevor Crescent and Bedford Road. Ruislip Gardens Primary school is directly opposite the western junction, and Ruislip High School is a short distance away on Sidmouth Drive. One of the main causes of the parking issues highlighted in the petition, however, was the close proximity to Ruislip Gardens Underground Station which is on central line. As Bromley Crescent currently has no parking restrictions, it could be an attractive place for commuters or visitors to park who are travelling towards central and northeast London. 3. As the Cabinet Member will be aware, the existing Ruislip Gardens Parking Management Scheme was installed some time ago, and includes nearby roads such as Trevor Crescent, and parts of Bedford Road, Clyfford Road and Stafford Road. Th e scheme operates ‘9am to 5pm everyday’. In the early 2010s, an area wide informal consultation took place asking residents in roads including Bromley Crescent, whether they would support their road being included in a resident’s permit parking scheme. During this time, only residents shown including on the plan attached to this report as Appendix A indicated support for a scheme, and so the parking arrangements in Bromley Crescent were left unchanged. 4. Following receipt of the petition, it was agreed with the Cabinet Member for Planning, Housing and Growth to add the request to the Council’s extensive parking programme, to conduct informal consultation. Officers therefore prepared informal consultation documents including a letter, a questionnaire asking whether residents would like their road to be a part of the ‘Zone RG’ parking scheme or remain unchanged at the present time, a plan of the consultation area agreed in liaison with local Ward Councillors, and a pre- paid reply envelope. These were posted to residents who had 4 weeks to return their questionnaire. 5. During this time, out of 50 informal consultation packs posted, 20 responses were received. This represents a response rate of 40%. Of these, 12 households indicated they were in Cabinet Member Report – 17 February 2026 Page 3 Part 1 Public support of a scheme, and eight indicated they would prefer no changes to the current parking arrangements. 6. Residents also had the opportunity to comment on the proposals. Those who supported a possible extension to the scheme advised that it would help alleviate the parking pressures that residents have been experiencing caused by commuter parking, problems during school drop-off and pick-up, as well as an increase in the number of cars to each household. 7. Residents who did not support an extension to the scheme to include their road advised that there are numerous driveways within the road, so residents have off-street parking and can park in front of their driveway. A concern highlighted was the cost to residents as well as the parked cars within the road mostly belong ed to the residents of Bromley Crescent and not non-residents. Some residents also suggested shorter operational times to prevent all -day parking. 8. The results were shared with local Ward Councillors who have advised that there is a sufficient mandate to proceed with a future formal consultatio n, however, in light of the comments made during the informal consultation, they have asked that officers first conduct a further informal consultation asking which operational times they would prefer a possible scheme should operate. 9. In conclusion, following an informal consultation on a possible extension to the Ruislip Gardens Parking Management Scheme ‘Zone RG’ and discussions with local Ward Councillors, it is recommended that officers conduct a further informal consultation with residents of Bromley Crescent, Ruislip at the earliest opportunity. Financial Implications There are no financial implications associated with the recommendations to this report. RESIDENT BENEFIT & CONSULTATION The benefit or impact upon Hillingdon residents, service users and communities To help manage the parking in Bromley Crescent, Ruislip following a petition from residents by having a resident’s permit parking scheme to help prevent non-residential parking. Consultation & Engagement carried out (or required) Informal consultation was carried out in an area agreed in liaison with local Ward Councillors. If the recommendations to this report are approved, then officers will prepare a further informal consultation to be carried out . Following this consultation and based on further discussions with local Ward Councillors, officers may then organise for statutory consultation to take place. CORPORATE CONSIDERATIONS Corporate Finance Cabinet Member Report – 17 February 2026 Page 4 Part 1 Public Corporate Finance has reviewed the recommendations to this report and concurs with the financial implications as set out above. Legal The Council’s power to extend the Ruislip Gardens Parking Management Scheme ‘Zone RG’ to Bromley Crescent , Ruislip is set out in the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984. The formal consultation and order-making statutory procedures to be followed before any such extension to the Parking Management Scheme are set out in Schedule 9 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 and the Local Authorities’ Traffic Orders (Procedures) (England and Wales) Regulations 1996. Any consultation must also meet the standard set by established common law principles in public law, namely fairness and adequacy. If a decision is taken after formal consultation to make an order extending the Parking Management Scheme, Part 5 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 and the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2016 set out the signage requirements, which must be observed. In exercising any of the powers under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, section 122 of the 1984 Act requires the Council to consider its statutory duty to secure the expeditious, convenient and safe movement of vehicular and other traffic (including pe destrians), and the provision of suitable and adequate parking facilities on and off the highway. These powers must be exercised so far as practicable having regard to the following matters: (a) the desirability of securing and maintaining reasonable access to premises; (b) the effect on the amenities of any locality affected and the importance of regulating and restricting the use of roads by heavy commercial vehicles, so as to preserve or improve amenities of the areas through which the roads run; (c) the national air quality strategy; (d) the importance of facilitating the passage of public service vehicles and of securing the safety and convenience of persons using or desiring to use such vehicles; and (e) any other matters appearing to the Council to be relevant. Moreover, the Council has various statutory duties in relation to road safety, such as under section 39 of the Road Traffic Act 1988 and section 16 of the Traffic Management Act 2004, which are relevant when deciding on road traffic measures. Pursuant to established public law principles on consultation, the decision maker, when coming to a decision regarding the progress of the proposed Parking Management Scheme extension to Ruislip Gardens Parking Management Scheme ‘Zone RG’ to Bromley Crescent, Ruislip, must be satisfied that all consultation responses, including those that do not accord with the officer's recommendation, were conscientiously taken into account. The consultation responses can be seen in Appendix B to this report. The Council must also be mindful of its public sector equality duty under section 149 of the Equality Act 2010. In this report, it is highlighted that the recommendation to progress to conduct a further informal consultation with residents of Bromley Crescent, Ruislip with options for alternative operational times follows on from consideration of the consultation responses from the first informal Cabinet Member Report – 17 February 2026 Page 5 Part 1 Public consultation. Thus, Legal Services confirm that there are no legal impediments to the Council following the recommendations set out in this report. It must be ensured that the proceeding in formal consultation and any subsequent formal consultation and action taken is in accordance with the rules and requirements mentioned above. Comments from other relevant service areas None at this stage. BACKGROUND PAPERS None at this stage.
