TMO 1195 proposes one new pavement crossover (removal of parking, dropped kerb installation etc.) to allow cars into front-garden parking spaces.
WCC will not object to this proposal.
WCC policy has been to be neutral on such proposals. As an environmentalist, I personally think they are a bad idea, since they are part of the process whereby gardens are paved over and get turned into car parks. This contributes the rain run-off flooding the sewage system and is part of the reason why Thames Water want to dig their new tunnel under the Thames. They also potentially increase hazards for pedestrians, particularly when the cars in the gardens jut out onto the pavement.
However, they have little impact in purely cycling terms, hence our policy of neutrality. What do you think? Add a comment below.
