Car club bays at various locations

Traffic management order TMO884 - Received 26 May 2007

The council proposes designating a number of existing car parking bays for the free use of Car Club vehicles with effect form 9th July. This will be an experimental order to be reviewed after six months. The locations are:
Chartfield Avenue N. side outside South Thames College;
Chivalry Road, S. side, west of the junction with Bollingbroke Grove;
Grant Road, opposite the entrance to Clapham Junction station;
Magdalen Road, outside library;
Podmore Road, N. side at junction with Alma Road;
Prince of Wales Drive, S. side, east of Queen's Circus;
Prince of Wales Drive, N. side, east of junction with Soudan Road;
Rectory Lane, outside 1 St. Nicholas Glebe;
Undine Street, outside library;
Wimbledon Park Road, outside library.

WCC are likely to support this proposal since Car Clubs appear to be an excellent way to reduce the numbers of cars on the streets.

Earlsfield Road & Granville Road SW18

Traffic Management Order TMO 879

The proposal is to remove existing parking spaces to allow for new vehicle cross-overs outside 213 Earlsfield Road and 111 Granville Road.

WCC is not likely to object to these proposals.

Deadline for responses: 1 June 2007

Priory Lane SW15

Traffic Management Order TMO 872 - Received 11/05/2007

The proposal is to introduce waiting restrictions operating at any time on the east side of Priory Lane at its junction with Clarence lane and for a short distance along Clarence Lane. This is in connection with a new mini-roundabout at this junction which is being put in as part of a local safety scheme.

It is also proposed to introduce waiting restrictions operating between 7 am and 7 pm Monday to Friday opposite the junction with Bank Lane.

WCC is likely to support both these proposals which will improve conditions for cyclists by limiting parking on this busy narrow road on which motorists often travel at excessive speed.

Various locations in Wandsworth

Traffic Management Order TMO 880 Received 10 May 2007

Proposed exclusion of specific areas from controlled parking zones.

The effect of this order is to exclude anyone living or working at a number of specified addresses from being eligible for CPZ parking permits.

Each of these places (such as the ex cinema/bingo hall above Clapham Junction station) is being re-developed and the plans include a sufficient number of parking places within the development. It is proposed that occupants be excluded from also using CPZ parking to avoid a risk of additional parking associated with these developments causing a shortage of spaces for those with no alternative parking available.

WCC is likely to support the principle of these orders.

Mayford Road SW12 & Pulborough Road SW18

TMO 871 - Received 03 May 2007

The proposal is to remove parking bays in each of these roads to accommodate new vehicle crossovers over footways.

WCC would like your views on this. Should we have a policy of opposing new crossovers?

Possible grounds are:

1. That they increase hazards to cyclists (more vehicles manouvering in and out of driveways)
2. Degrade the envirionment for pedestrians (increased hazards for them and more damage to footway)
and even
3. Effectively 'privatise' what was a generally available parking space by replacing it with yellow lines to allow vehicle access to private parking on the property.

What to you think?

Beclands Road SW17, Blondel Steet SW11 & Clarence Lane SW15

TMO 874 Received 03 May 2007

The proposal is for the designation of one disabled 'blue badge' parking space outside particular addresses in each of these roads.

How long will it be before there is another TMO converting them to 'resident specific' disabled bays?

WCC unlikely to have any objection to these.

Deadline for comments is 21 May 2007
