Daws Lane, Hammers Lane, and “Poets Corner” parking consultation

We asked

We asked residents and businesses for their views on parking issues, the implementation of parking controls, and the introduction of a Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) in Daws Lane, Hammers Lane, and the “Poets Corner” roads, in order to address local parking concerns and demand.

You said

We received 214 responses from approximately 631 properties, which equates to an overall response rate of 34%.

73% (156 respondents) told us they experience parking problems near their property.

In response to our questions on introducing a CPZ in the area, 32 respondents (15%) were in favour of a CPZ being implemented.

A further 9 respondents who said no to a CPZ said they would support the proposal if neighbouring street were included in a CPZ.

The issue raised the most was the introduction of charging for parking in Daws Lane and Wise Lane car parks; Other issues mentioned were drop off and pick up from 2 local schools and the increasing number of flats.

We did

Following our informal engagement, we have listened to residents and will not be progressing with proposals for a Controlled Parking Zone in Daws Lane, Hammers Lane, and the “Poets Corner” at this time.
