Easing parking congestion in Chalvey, Slough
Slough Borough Council has introduced new pay and display parking in Chalvey to
ease the congestion caused by inconsiderate parking.
This new measure comes in response to last year’s consultation with residents and businesses about creating a parking watch zone in Chalvey. Although Slough residents voted against the proposals for the whole zone, support was strong for street by street improved parking management measures.
Pay and display parking is now in place on the following roads; Chalvey Park, Beechwood Gardens, Turton Way, Chalvey High Street, Darvill’s Lane and Everard Avenue.
The use of parking meters was piloted in Slough town centre in 2005 and has been successful in increasing the amount of short-stay parking in the area.
Other changes in Chalvey include the introduction of double yellow lines in Chalvey Road East and West, new residents’ permit schemes in Turton Way, Everard Avenue, Darvill’s Lane and Chalvey High Street. More parking spaces for residents and visitors have also been introduced in Beechwood Gardens and Chalvey Park.
Chris Weedon, senior engineer for Slough parking development, said: “These new parking measures came about following strong agreement from residents and businesses, because parking was a real problem for them in the area. We only introduce them where a majority are in favour of the proposals, and income from meters and permits goes back into the pot to cover the cost of enforcement.
“It is hoped these new measures will help to alleviate the parking problems that have been causing a nuisance to residents in the area.”
