Newsletter for the Leamington Park Area

I've produced a special edition of our regular 'East Acton Labour News' newsletter for the Leamington Park area. We'll be delivering it today. All four of us in the Councillors Team have written articles for the newsletter - mine is on the new controlled parking zone : "

Residents-only Parking Scheme Agreed after Local Campaign

We’ve persuaded the Council to agree to make the Gypsy Corner area a residents-only parking zone. This follows a large number of complaints that we received as your local Councillors about commuters and other non-residents causing parking problems in local roads.

A consultation showed a clear majority for the residents-only policy on the following roads which will now be included in the controlled parking zone —

York Road area : York Road, Rosebank Way, Leamington Park and Horn Lane ;
Leamington Park Estate : Seacole Close, Garrett Close, Lister Close and Jenner Avenue ;
Wales Farm Road area : Wales Farm Road, Acorn Gardens, Conway Grove and Victoria Road ; Playing Fields area : Noel Road, Balfour Road, Cecil Road, Cloister Road and Park View.

Cllr Philip Portwood says : “We have campaigned for this with great support from local residents, and I’m delighted that it’s been agreed by the Council. There should be no more of the problems caused by double parking and commuter blocking of parking places. This shows that local Councillors and local residents campaigning together really can make a difference.”

The residents-only parking scheme will start in the new year. "

Other articles include ones by Atallah Said on new street lighting, Kate Crawford on a new pedestrian crossing in Horn Lane, and Paul Woodgate on his scrutiny of flooding and water pressure.

If you live in one of the roads above in the area, and don't get a copy of the newsletter delivered today, please e-mail me on phil@east-acton.com and I'll make sure that one gets to you.
