Agenda item

To consider any deputation requests or petitions at the meeting.

• To hear a deputation from a group of residents from Shenley and Linnell Roads (SE5) regarding Lucas Gardens Controlled Parking Zone.

RESOLVED:

That the deputation request from a group of residents from Shenley and Linnell Roads be heard.

Gavin Hales spokesperson for the deputation outlined that he represented 14 households in Shenley Road and a minority of residents in Linnell Road.  He said when Lucas Gardens CPZ was first introduced on 16 January 2012, those outside the zone were not consulted and the displacement of parking was not foreseen. He stated that at least two thirds of parking in the area had been displaced which had caused problems for families (outside the zone) being unable to park outside their homes and had made other roads in close proximity (no CPZs) congested and dangerous.

The spokesperson provided a list of recommendations that were summarised in the deputation report.  Camberwell community council agreed to a motion based on those recommendations:

RESOLVED:

1.  That the Camberwell Community Council formally requests that Southwark Council consult residents on streets outside of the LGCPZ not presently covered by parking controls on options to manage on-street parking pressures, including a new/extended CPZ. 

A proposed list of streets to be consulted on as set out below:

·  The southern (non-CPZ) section of Vestry Road

·  McNeil Road

·  Lyndhurst Grove (to the point at which CPZ Zone B starts)

·  Azenby Road

·  Linnell Road

·  Oswyth Road

·  Gairloch Road

·  Shenley Road

·  Cross Road

·  Crofton Road

·  Bushey Hill Road

·  Talfourd Road

·  Talfourd Place

·  Denman Road

2.  That the Camberwell Community Council formally requests that Southwark Council urgently review the implementation and operation of the LGCPZ with a view to moderating its impact on surrounding streets while still effectively managing parking pressures inside the LGCPZ area. Non-exhaustive lists of suggestions of potential changes are set out below:

·  Consider whether/how the uptake of parking permits by residents inside the LGCPZ can be raised further to minimise the displacement of residential parking.

·  Reduce the hours of operation of the LGCPZ to more evenly distribute parking pressures across the wider area while continuing to deter all-day commuter parking from the LGCPZ area.

·  Remove the eastern (Lucas Gardens) side of Vestry Road (north of the junction with Linnell Road) from the LGCPZ.

·  Convert parking bays inside the LGCPZ not currently fronted by residential addresses from ‘permit holders only’.

Following the meeting, Officers agreed to discuss options with the relevant Cabinet Member who would then consider available budgets and what projects are feasible.
