Stratford District CPE Variation 11 - S2, S3 & S4 Residents' Parking Zones

Please Note: the public notice has a closing date for consultation resturns of 4th April.  Due to a slight delay with the printing of letters to residents, the deadline has been extended to 18th April.

Background

Following on from consultation carried out in late Summer 2024, a report was presented to the Portfolio Holder for Transport and Planning where it was resolved that the measures below would be implemented:

Decision Notice (November 2024 ) (PDF, 993 KB)

• 4 x parking bays (consisting of up to 11 parking spaces) in Mulberry Street and Shakespeare Street to change from:

  • (8am – 6pm No Waiting / 6pm – 8am S2 Permit Holders); to
  • (8am – 6pm Pay & Display or S2 Permit Holders / 6pm – 8am S2 Permit Holders Only);

• All S4 zone bays hours of operation to change from:

  • (8am – 10pm Pay & Display or S4 Permit Holders); to
  • (8am – 6pm Pay & Display or S4 Permit Holders / 6pm – 8am S4 Permit Holders Only);

• S3 Permit eligibility to be extended to residents of St. Gregory’s Road;

• Changes to S2 Permit Eligibility for Samaritans;

A resolution was also passed to NOT take forward the proposals regarding the merging of the two (S2 & S4) residents' parking zones;  instead seeking alternative proposals to achieve the best possible distribution of demand for parking in the finite number of spaces available across S2, S3 and S4.  This has resulted in the proposals as detailed below.

Please note - It's expected that after consultation has been completed, a follow-up report will be presented to the Portfolio Holder for Transport Planning in June 2025 for a decision on whether to proceed to implementation with this Traffic Regulation Order.  Surveys evaluating parking occupancy and availability (in the S2, S2/S3 and S4 zones) have been regularly carried out since January 2025 and will continue as late as possible in the lead up to the report, in order to maximise the data available to inform the decision.

Proposals

• Parking bays in Maidenhead Road, Rowley Crescent and St Gregory's Road (currently eligible for use by either S2 or S3 permit holders) to be made eligible for use by S2, S3 or S4 permit holders
•  The town centre permit zone (currently eligible for either S2 or S3 permits - consisting of selected residential properties on Birmingham Road, Guild Street, Windsor Street, Henley Street, Kearns Terrace, Victoria Close, Union Street, Meer Street, Greenhill Street, Wood Street, Bridge Street) to be made eligible for S2, S3 or S4 permits
• Properties developed at Maison 1, Arden Street to be removed from permit eligibility
• Samaritans' permit eligibility to be tranferred from the S2 zone to the S4 zone
