Burfield Close SW17 – Tooting E1 sub-zone parking consultation

Consultation on the possible extension of the Tooting Broadway Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) (E1) into Burfield Close, SW17.

For more information, read our guidance on how a controlled parking zone works. 

Background

We asked residents of Diprose Lodge and Wilkinson Court Area for their views on the current parking conditions where they live and whether they would support the extension of the Tooting Broadway CPZ (E1) into the highway section of Burfield Close. This followed the receipt of a petition from local residents requesting a CPZ to address parking, access and other problems associated with non-resident parking in Burfield Close.

Consultation

Residents were asked specifically whether they would like the Tooting Broadway CPZ (E1) implemented in Burfield Close. This would mean that between 9.30am and 5.30pm, Monday to Saturday, only vehicles displaying a valid permit (resident, business or visitor) or pay and display ticket (or paperless equivalent) would be entitled to park in bays to be marked in the remaining sections of the highway. Existing arrangements operating in the estate bays would remain unchanged.

Results

The consultation closed on Monday 5 March 2018.
