Princess Road Area - Results of informal consultation on the possible extension of the Croydon CPZ (East Outer Permit Zone)

This report considers the results of the informal consultation on the proposal to extend the Croydon Controlled Parking Zone (North Permit Area) into the Princess Road Area which includes unrestricted roads between Lion Road and Johnson Road in Bensham Manor, Selhurst and West Thornton.

Minutes:

The Traffic Management Advisory Committee considered the report on the results of the informal consultation on the proposal to extend the Croydon Controlled Parking Zone (North Permit Area) into the Princess Road Area which includes unrestricted roads bounded by Whitehorse Road, Pawson’s Road, Lodge Road, Windmill Road and the Whitehorse Road housing estate in the Wards of Bensham Manor, Selhurst and West Thornton.

 

Members were informed that the figures in the report for Pawson’s Road should read 12 responses in favour which made the figure 35% in favour. The overall percentages at the bottom of Table 1 were not affected.

 

The officer stated that it was recommended that formal consultation be undertaken to introduced controlled parking in the shaded roads in Table 1, and while it was noted that some roads that had not voted in favour were included in the proposed area, this was due to possible displacement.

 

Members noted that 35% in favour for Pawson’s Road was still low, however it was noted that to maintain the integrity of the scheme and to avoid displacement the road should be included as part of the formal consultation.

 

In response to Member questions the officer confirmed that parking from Crystal Palace matches did impact the area and the proposal would help when there were weekend matches. It was suggested that a match day CPZ might need to be considered in the future.

 

The Chair noted that it often took two years between receiving a petition and implementing a scheme due to the two phase consultation process followed, and if any roads were excluded it may take over a year to implement any changes to the zone if they experienced any displacement. The Committee would consider the responses to the formal consultation at a future meeting of the Traffic Management Advisory Committee ahead of any final decision.

 

The Traffic Management Advisory Committee RESOLVED to recommend to the Cabinet Member for Transport and Environment that they:
