Weekend Residents’ parking for Weltje Road and Rivercourt Road South
We want LBHF to extend residents’ only parking to the weekend for Weltje Road and Rivercourt Road SOUTH.
Why is this important?
Since Latymer School has decided to sublet their sports facilities, local residents have experienced an unprecedented rise in illegal parking and antisocial behaviour including cars running their engines for prolonged periods contributing to worsening air quality and noise pollution.
Parking in front of driveways, dropped curbs or in private car spaces on the mall is recurrent and antisocial .
We have a number of families with buggies and older residents with mobility issues and it is only right that people are able to drive out of their homes on weekends and park in private car spaces.
Furthermore, cars are often parked at entrance of the roads from/to the A4 which is not only illegal but very dangerous.
We believe that by extending residents’ parking to the weekends and the policing of this through wardens and fines this behaviour will be kept in check and the negative social and health externalities currently paid for by local residents will be internalised by monetary fines paid for by the offenders.
