Minutes:
The Committee noted that the following petitions containing in excess of 50 signatures had been received:-
i) Petition requesting the relocation of a bus stop in Donnington Road, London NW10
This petition, presented by Mrs Sion Griffiths, a local resident, stated:
“We the undersigned residents support the petition for the re-location of the Number 6 bus stop on Donnington Road (opposite the entrance to Willesden Sports Centre and capital City Academy”.
Mrs Griffiths informed the Committee about the hazardous nature of Donnington Road adding that this had resulted in a number of accidents in Donnington Road particularly at the bus stop by Capital City Academy as passing motor vehicles overtook parked buses. She requested proper risk assessment of the situation needed to be undertaken and adequate control measures put in place to address the problem.
RESOLVED:
that the contents of the petition be noted.
Further decisions regarding this petition appear under agenda item 6.
ii) South Kenton/Preston Park proposed Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ)
This petition, presented by Mr Frank Treviss, a local resident, stated:
“The proposed CPZ will cover Grasmere Avenue (Preston Road to Arnside Gardens), College Road, Woodside Place, Glendale Gardens, Longfield Avenue, Fernleigh Court, Carlton Avenue East (Preston Road to College Road), Logan Road and Warren Close.
If the proposed scheme is adopted residents who live within the proposed area will be required to pay to the Council annually, £50.00 for one car, £125.00 for 2 cars, £225.00 for three cars and/or £100 for a visitors permit. These prices are currently being reviewed which may lead to them being increased in the near future.
Those residents outside the proposed area will not be allowed to park within the proposed area unless they pay parking meter charges even with a Wembley Stadium Event Day permit. If you reside outside the area of the proposed scheme you will not be given an opportunity to oppose the scheme but can sign this petition.”
Mr Treviss the lead petitioner informed the Committee that the consultation on the proposed CPZ was flawed as those who would be directly affected by its implementation were not consulted. He stated that members of the South Kenton Preston Park residents’ association were totally opposed to the scheme which would prevent them from parking on Wembley Event Days. He added that they were also opposed to any revenue generating scheme.
Mr Michael Maurice speaking in favour of CPZ in the area stated that Preston Road and South Kenton were probably the only stations in North West London without some sort of parking controls. This had therefore resulted in commuter parking, displacement parking and vehicular accidents particularly in those roads close to the stations such as Carlton Avenue East. Mr Maurice added although he believed that the introduction of CPZ would address the situation, he requested that a further consultation with residents would be helpful in the circumstances.
RESOLVED:
that the contents of the petition be noted.
Further decisions regarding this petition appear under agenda item 7.
iii) Proposed Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) in the Northwick Avenue, Rushout Avenue and Churchill Avenue areas.
This petition, presented by Mrs Shah, a local resident, stated:
“We the undersigned support the petition against the introduction of controlled parking in the Northwick Avenue, Rushout Avenue and Churchill Avenue areas”.
Mrs Shah stated that despite the current parking situation in those areas, local residents were strongly opposed to the introduction of controlled parking.
RESOLVED:
that the contents of the petition be noted.
Further decisions regarding this petition appear under agenda item 7.
