APPENDIX A
Area J Residents Parking Scheme Review
Background
A resident parking scheme was implemented in the Preston Circus Area (Zone J) in 2006. It was subsequently extended in 2009 to include Preston Park Avenue and again in 2010 to include London Road Station Area (south). In 2013 an extension was implemented to include the area north of London Road Station and the Roundhill area, a year later in 2014 Preston Park and Lewes Road Triangle were included. In 2018 the council received a petition from local residents commenting that the area had become too big and was leading to parking pressures in the area, particularly in the evenings. It was agreed in the parking priority timetable set in 2018 that a review be carried out in 2020/21.
Headline Findings
Methodology
In July 2021, the council wrote to 7798 property addresses within the boundaries of the Area J residents parking scheme area. Respondents were asked to complete the survey online via the council’s Consultation Portal: Citizen Space. Paper copies of the questionnaire and a prepaid reply envelope were also available on request. 1128 (99.1%) responses were received online and 10 (0.9%) by mail. The consultation ran from 26 July to 6 September 2021.
Results
1138 valid responses[1] were received from within the scheme boundary giving a response rate of 14.6%. People were asked how satisfied they are with the current Area J parking scheme?
