| I have been in contact with officers about this, because the plan has not been well managed thus far. I have a comprehensive response from the officer leading this, as follows: "Thank you for your email and for forwarding the comments you have received from residents. I appreciate you taking the time to review the earlier consultation results and to set out your concerns clearly. Firstly, I completely understand your position regarding the age of the earlier review consultation [It was started in November 2023 and concluded in January 2024!] and the context at the time it was undertaken. As you have highlighted, local circumstances have changed significantly since then — particularly as residents have now become accustomed to life after the closure of Griffin Park. While the informal consultation provided mixed feedback, including some support for shorter weekday hours, I fully recognise the point you raise: using that older feedback in isolation would not be appropriate without understanding current resident sentiment. That is precisely why the statutory consultation is essential and why the proposal is not in any way predetermined. The volume and strength of objections received so far indicate that residents do not support reducing the operational hours. This will be reflected transparently in the consultation analysis and recommendation. If the overall feedback continues along the same lines, the appropriate outcome would be either to retain the existing hours or to consider a fresh informal consultation at a later date if the Council wished to explore alternatives. I would also like to assure you that the misattribution of the earlier consultation to the wrong ward councillors was an oversight, [they sent it to the councillors for Syon and Brentford Dock, not me] and I apologise sincerely for the confusion this caused. Letters to residents have now been issued and should be received by Monday 17 November, and residents have been informed that the statutory consultation will remain open until 8 December, ensuring adequate time to respond given the early appearance of the on-street notice. I will ensure that you are provided with: 1. A clear breakdown of all statutory responses once the consultation closes, and 2. The draft officer report prior to any final decision being taken. Please rest assured that no changes will be taken forward unless there is demonstrable support from residents within the BRS CPZ — and at present, that support is clearly not emerging." So residents, do please make sure your views are presented to officers and I promise I will examine the findings thoroughly. If there is great disagreement I will look to call a public meeting to further debate. To be quite clear, this change was news to me. I may (or may not, given the misallocation) have heard about this consultation 2 tyears ago but if I had, I have quite forgotten it. In addition, the officers omitted to alert me to the current statutory consultation, for which the relevant director has apologised. Something else which I haven't highlighted: the current development of Griffin Park is quite likely to exacerbate parking stresses in the BRS area and that needs to be considered. And my own view of the current arrangements was that having an evening restriction to deal with weekday football matches was out of date (though of course the football still attracts parking in the area to some extent as Cathy notes) |
