The consultation
Ealing Council is seeking views on a proposed controlled parking zone (CPZ) area east of Northolt Station
Parking can be a daily burden for many Ealing residents and businesses. Often the demand for parking exceeds availability and residents have little choice but to seek parking further afield. This inconvenience can prove frustrating and often stressful, especially for those with a genuine need to park close to their homes. A high demand for parking can also cause issues of safety and accessibility, as vehicles resort to parking around junctions and obstructing driveways.
The council has alleviated these problems in other parts of the borough by introducing controlled parking zones (CPZ). Controlled parking zones prioritise parking for residents and local businesses but can also help improve traffic flow and safety, by easing congestion and ensuring vehicles are parked responsibly.
Some time ago, the council carried out parking surveys across the borough with the purpose of identifying areas with high volumes of parking. The information collected from these surveys was used to establish a programme of consultation for controlled parking. Our survey of your area indicated that some roads were heavily parked and the subsequent introduction of parking controls west of Mandeville Road, may have led to some additional parking being displaced into your areas as motorists seek the nearest available free parking. We are also aware of some long-standing parking and access concerns across the wider area and controlled parking is often a good opportunity to assess and address these issues. In view of this, we are seeking your views to see whether you would like controlled parking introduced in your street. Whether you drive, walk, cycle or use public transport, we would like to hear your views.

What happens next?
Your responses will be analysed and discussed with your Ward Councillors and the results of the consultation will be made available online.
In line with the council's CPZ Policy, if the majority of respondents support the proposals, a CPZ will be introduced. The exact extent of the zone and the operational times will be determined by the responses to this consultation.
Prior to implementation, the council is required to carry out a 21-day statutory consultation. This involves notices being placed on lamp columns in the proposed area and the publication of the notice within the Ealing Gazette. This process provides the public with a further opportunity to comment on the proposals. All comments and objections will be considered and responded to before any decision is made to proceed to implementation. Following this process, if a CPZ is approved for implementation, it will usually become operational within approximately six months.
