Wandle Valley parking update
By Councillors Ben Andrew, Vincent Galligan & Hanna Zuchowska
Due to parking pressures in St Helier, a residents only parking scheme is being proposed on the streets around the hospital.
When this scheme is introduced, it is possible that parking problems will be shifted further away, so that roads outside of this scheme will soak up the problems instead. For this reason, the council originally proposed a “free bay CPZ” scheme for streets further away from the hospital.

By Councillors Ben Andrew, Vincent Galligan & Hanna Zuchowska
Hackbridge residents have told us about increased parking problems for many years. There will be roughly 1,000 more properties in Hackbridge once the current developments are
complete, with national policy restricting the additional parking that can be provided alongside them. With so much development on-going, and a Zone 4 train station in the area, it is important that we act now to protect resident parking.
