Item 6 – Extract from Hendon Residents Forum Agenda – 26 March 2014

Parking Proposal for Ajax Avenue and Chequers Close NW9

 

I would like to request that the parking issues and a parking proposal for Ajax Avenue and Chequers Close NW9 be added to the agenda for the Hendon Residents Forum on Wednesday 26th March 2014.

 

The proposal of the residents of Ajax Avenue and Chequers Close is as follows;

 

1) That the controlled parking zone be extended from 7am to 7pm Monday to Saturday

2) That the Ajax Avenue and Chequers Close be granted a specific parking permit exclusively for the use of residents of Ajax Avenue and Chequers Close NW9 but excluding any residents of the Fairview flats on the corner of Ajax Avenue and Colindale Avenue known as Brent Works.

 

We have a petition with more than 30 signatures which we would like to submit with this proposal.

 

Charlotte Gracias

It is believed that the issue of parking in Ajax Avenue NW9 was addressed in the last Hendon Residents Forum on 15th January 2014, and the Hendon Area Environment Sub-Committee on the same date.

 

It was decided that Officers should investigate the request, and Officers will shortly be engaging with Ward Councillors in relation to this.

 

Traffic and Development

 

 

The traffic and development officer stated that the situation had developed and noted the concerns of the resident.

 

The sub-Committee noted the urgency of this item and requested that officers investigate the location and carry out any necessary consultation with residents and Ward Members.

 

 

Resolved

That the sub-Committee requests that the residents’ concerns are investigated and that a consultation takes place which engages with Ward Members.
