| I have serious concerns about the basis for the current statutory consultation, and believe the evidence suggests it should be reconsidered. Below is the link to the council’s report dated 28 November 2023, which underpins the consultation now being carried out a year later: https://democraticservices.hounslow.gov.uk/documents/s190605/Brook%20Road%20South%20controlled%20parking%20zone%20review%20outcome%20of%20review%20consultation_v1.pdf Key points from the 2023 review consultation • The consultation (10 January–10 February 2023) was sent to 827 properties and received 129 responses (16%)—a weak sample for major operational changes. • Only 70 respondents (≈8% of all addressed households) said the current hours are inappropriate. • Just 50 respondents (≈6%) preferred shorter weekday hours, the only group whose views support removing evening restrictions. • The report’s narrative recommends further consultation before altering hours, yet the decision summary appears to favour implementing shorter hours immediately—an internal inconsistency. • With such limited support, it is reasonable to question whether further consultation represents an effective use of public funds. Impact assessment from the council’s own report • Potential benefit of reducing hours: easier visitor parking and possible support for local footfall. • Stated risks: • Increased non-resident commuter parking associated with Brentford Station. • Reduced residential parking availability and greater competition for spaces. The report’s own analysis therefore emphasises risks for residents, while potential benefits primarily relate to non-resident parking demand. Concerns about the statutory consultation process • The decision box on pages 1–2 reads as if a move to Monday–Friday, 10am–Noon is already being approved, despite the report recommending further engagement. • I received the statutory consultation notice on 19 November, although the letter (dated 14 November) states the consultation began on 7 November. • The consultation closes on 8 December, giving limited time for residents who only recently received postal notification. Many residents do not routinely check the council website. Background from the report The original 2022 consultation was invalidated because two roads did not receive documents and the online survey contained an error, requiring a full re-consultation in 2023. |
