Barnes CPZ review

Background and introduction

Last year, the Council undertook a consultation with all residents and businesses of Controlled Parking Zones in Barnes as part of the above review.

The consultation primarily sought views on merging a number of zones to actively reduce their number in Barnes. The results showed support to merge three zones B1 (North Barnes CPZ), CB1 (Barnes Village CPZ) and CB2 (South Barnes) into one new zone Barnes CPZ (zone B1).

Following the consideration of the results of the consultation and other aspects of the review, the Council is formally advertising proposals (traffic management orders) to:

• Merge zones B1, CB1 and CB2 into one new Barnes CPZ. The new zone will be called Zone B1 operating Monday to Friday, 10am to Noon.
• Incorporate the existing Barnes High Street and Station Road pay and display schemes into existing zone CB. This will mean that the pay and display parking areas at these two locations will extend to operate on Saturdays until 6.30pm (currently 1.30pm).
• Revise the layout of parking areas and yellow lines for all CPZs chiefly comprising of the following:
• Extended parking areas to maximise available parking capacity
• The introduction of double yellow lines particularly at junctions to improve road safety conditions though these will be kept to a minimum as parking areas are at a premium
• The designation of all existing “Resident Permit Holders Only” parking areas as “Permit Holders Only” parking areas in the new Barnes CPZ (Zone B1) to maximise the flexibility of this new CPZ and allow business parking when necessary.
• Provide a number of other minor modifications to the CPZs including the introduction of a short stay parking area in Lonsdale Road adjacent to the Small Profits Dock.
• Provide pay and display parking areas at the southern end of Station Road, Barnes operating between Monday to Friday, 10am and Noon to provide parking for those using the station. Parking will cost £1 per hour with a maximum stay period of two hours.
• Introduce new lengths of waiting and loading restrictions in Castelnau, approximately between Trinity Church Road and Hammersmith Bridge to improve road safety conditions and traffic flow.
