Commuter parking in Valley Drive, Kingsbury.


From time to time we receive complaints regarding commuter parking in Crundale Ave, Kingsbury. This is a popular parking place (free) for user of Kingsbury Tube station.
A few  years ago the Council held a consultation with residents of Valley Drive to decide if a CPZ (controlled parking zone) should be introduced. This would have restricted parking, except for certain times of the day, which deters commuters but encourages local residents to shop locally for the benefit of local traders. Residents would need a parking permit to park in the road, unless they have off street parking. Following an extensive ballot resident’s narrowly rejected the proposed CPZ plan.

At the time of the previous consultation many residents voted No. It was clear that many people voted from roads largely unaffected by the parking problem. Is it time to consult, once again, to introduce a CPZ, but maybe restrict the consultation to only roads that suffer the parking problems? We would welcome comments?
