Edenham Way Parking

Overview

We have been working with residents on a solution to the widespread misuse of parking facilities and increasing problems with unauthorised parking at Edenham Way.

Residents are frequently unable to find a parking space and some drivers of unauthorised vehicles are engaging in antisocial behaviour. There have been multiple incidences of vehicles speeding on the estate and vandalism of the car park entry gates.

In response, the Council is asking all Edenham Way residents for their views on adopting its standard housing estate parking policy, which would enable parking enforcement by its on-street parking enforcement contractor, NSL.

Proposed options

The below provides details of the proposed options of where the enforcement could be implemented:

1. Enforce the whole car park outside block 51 to 80
2. Enforce on the car park outside block 51 to 80 and the road the garages sit on
3. Enforce on the whole estate (including the bays outside the houses if the relevant householder agrees to enforcement outside their property). Only the householder would be able to park in front of their property with a lockable bollard. Enforcement would mean that if anyone other than another resident permit holder parked in front of the property they could then be ticketed and towed. If a householder wished to have parking enforcement implemented, they would need to pay for the parking space outside their property.
4. Do not have any enforcement on the estate

If enforcement is the preferred option, the cost of parking permits would be:

• Free for disabled residents and residents who require regular care
• £5.79 per week for Council residents
• £14.47 per week plus VAT for non-Housing Management residents

Visitors would only be able to park in the one dedicated parking bay at Edenham Way and would need to display a valid scratch card. Residents would be eligible for three days per month which are currently free of charge.

The standard housing estate parking policy
The key differences to the current parking arrangements at Edenham Way are:

Parking permits

Rather than having an allocated bay, permit holders could park in any available permit bay (except for bays designated for visitor parking and disabled residents and any bays excluded from enforcement as a result of this consultation).

Specific arrangements for disabled and supported residents

Disabled residents would be entitled to free parking and have an allocated disability bay marked out in a location suitable for them.

Residents with an ongoing need for home care would be entitled to free parking for their carers via a parking permit which can be transferred across different vehicles (only one vehicle can use the permit at any one point in time)
 

Visitor parking arrangements

All residents would be entitled to a free visitor parking scratch-card, which can only be used in one designated visitor parking space on the estate. The scratch-card allows three days per month parking in the visitor parking bays, on a first-come, first-served basis.

What you need to do
When you have considered the proposal detailed above, please complete the survey by Sunday 12 March 2023.

Next steps
We require a minimum of 10 per cent of consulted residents to respond in order to make a decision on the proposals. It’s therefore important that we hear from as many residents as possible.

We will contact you again after the consultation has closed on Sunday 12 March 2023, to let you know the result.

If the results show that a traffic order is preferred, we will consult on making a traffic order and if the decision is approved following consultation we will issue new permits, install signage, and begin to enforce parking restrictions. Enforcement would likely begin in Spring 2023 to allow time for the changes to be implemented.
