Hanover and Elm Grove parking schemes review

Feedback updated 29 July 2022

We reviewed the resident parking scheme in the Hanover and Elm Grove area (Zone V) in June 2022, after the scheme had been changed from S to V following a previous review of 2018.  

Residents in a small number of streets, known as the ‘top triangle,’ requested a further review to find out if there is enough support in the area to revert to the original Zone S. 

The consultation has now closed, and results will be available as soon as the replies have been analysed.

We reviewed the resident parking scheme in the Hanover and Elm Grove area (Zone S) at the end of 2018, after the scheme had been in place for over a year. 

Residents in a small number of streets, known as the ‘top triangle,’ requested further consultation to find out if there is enough support in the area to join Zone V. 

Zone S is a light-touch scheme which is active Monday to Friday from 11am to midday and from 6pm to 7pm. 

Zone V is a full scheme which is active Monday to Sunday from 9am to 8pm. 

Top triangle streets include: 

• Arnold Street 
• Baxter Street 
• Carlyle Street 
• Cromwell Street 
• Lynton Street 
• part of Queens Park Road between Elm Grove and Carlyle Street 

We received 174 valid responses, which is 44.7% of the total households in the proposed scheme area. 

Overall, 51.1% support joining Zone V, but after we looked at the results from each street separately, it’s clear that residents in Queens Park Road would prefer to stay in Zone S.  

If we remove the results from Queens Park Road, the support for joining Zone V increases to 54%. 

We included the proposed change from Zone S to Zone V for all streets except Queens Park Road in a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO). View the details of this TRO (TRO-31-2019).

No objections were received to the proposals so the committee agreed to make the changes. Zone S will become zone V in March 2020.
