South Portslade Parking Consultation

We the undersigned petition Brighton & Hove Council to undertake a residents parking consultation in the South Portslade area.

Parking for Residents in South Portslade has reached breaking point. Limited space on narrow roads, such as St Andrew's Road, St Aubyns Road and Franklin Road is under increasing pressure from Boundary Road shoppers and non-local commercial vehicle parking, as a result of a lack of any type of resident's parking scheme on these residential roads. The proposed extension of the West Hove resident's parking zone will only increase the pressure. This petition is being undertaken to request a resident parking scheme for the South Portslade area, to allow those who live on these roads to be able to park near to where they live. We thank you for reviewing this petition and considering it for action.

Council response

Response provided by the Chair of the Environment, Transport & Sustainability Committee at their meeting on 27 June 2017:

Thank you for your petition and I do understand the concerns of residents in your area.

Officers are currently working on parking scheme consultations in the Hanover & Elm Grove area, Craven Vale area, Preston Village & Balfour Road areas and the West Hove area with the Hove Park area to follow soon.

As residents of a number of roads have come forward as an area we will look to include this area within the future parking scheme priority timetable.

The current parking scheme priority timetable runs up to 2018 (for completion of schemes) and officers will be presenting a report to this Committee later in the year on an updated timetable based on requests such as this.
