Parking ban plan round Stanmore Station

By Elaine Okyere

Plans to introduce parking restrictions to roads around Stanmore tube station are expected to be approved at a Harrow Council meeting this evening (Wednesday).

Councillors plan to add new controlled parking zones to 11 roads in the area and 10 other roads will also get yellow line markings to ease congestion.

More than 4,000 householders were consulted in February and an overwhelming majority agreed to the extension.

Residents are hoping the controls will stop motorists parking their cars along the roads and on kerbs and grass in order to take the Jubilee line from Stanmore Station to Wembley.

Two parking zones were originally introduced in the area in 1994, but have not been reviewed since 2004.

The new roads to be included in the restrictions are Berry Hill, Brockleyside, Chevalier Close, Rees Drive, Westbere Drive, Partridge Close, Gordon Avenue, Naresby Fold, Tudor Well Close and parts of London Road and Pangbourne Drive.
