Wandsworth Town CPZ W1 parking consultation

We reviewed the operational times of the Wandsworth Town CPZ W1 sub-zone in Sudlow Road and Frogmore, in response to a petition from residents.

Background

We asked residents in Sudlow Road and Frogmore Road, part of the Wandsworth Town CPZ, W1 sub-zone, for their views on parking conditions and on extending the CPZ operational times. This followed receipt of a petition from residents in Sudlow Road SW18. The petitioners requested the extension to the operating hours and days of the CPZ (currently 9.30am to 4.30pm, Monday to Friday) to operate 8.30am to 6.30pm, Monday to Sunday. The reason for submitting this request was to alleviate current and future parking difficulties after the controls terminate, due to non-residents parking in the road.

Consultation

Residents were asked for their views specifically on the possibility of extending the hours /days of control to 8.30am to 6.30pm, Monday to Saturday, or whether they would prefer another arrangement including retaining the existing times/days.

Results

The consultation closed on Monday 5 March 2018.
