Members Present:
Councillor Sury Khatri (Chairman) Councillor John Hart (Vice-Chairman)
1. Petition to Request Parking Controlled Zone in Glendor Gardens, NW7 The Chairman noted the correction on page 1, and stated that the correct ward is Hale. The Forum received an oral representation from the lead petitioner Ms Fiona Aitman who presented the petition. She highlighted the issues which are exacerbated due to the narrow entrance to the road. The petitioner noted an increase in non-resident parking on Glendor Gardens throughout the day and especially in the morning and afternoon when people park to drop off and pick up children from a nearby school. There was also a suggestion of commuter parking using Mill hill Broadway which is a short walk from the end of the road. She also stated that the grass verge has been turned into a muddy mess due to cars and heavy vehicles parking there.
Car users also often drive down the road and make a u-turn which has caused damage to one of the homes there. Nearby roads have controlled parking zones and that their road is the only road in the area without controlled parking restrictions.
She noted that it has become a struggle for residents to find parking spaces due to these issues which has caused emotional distress to residents. The petitioner therefore called for controlled parking zone restrictions on Glendor Gardens.
Following notification of the petition, the Chairman noted the issue and due to the difficulties which residents are faced with, referred the petition to the next Hendon Area Committee on 2nd May 2017.
