Following careful consideration of all the feedback received (shown below), it was decided to proceed to the formal consultation stage to introduce a Residents Parking Zone. This will be done via a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO), which will be advertised on streets in the area and in The News. We will also write to all residents in the proposed zone to inform them of our plans.
