We asked residents and businesses in the Tudor Road area for their views on proposals to introduce a residents parking scheme - in particuler, the following options:
• 24 hours a day, seven days a week
• 24 hours a day, weekdays
• 8am-6pm, weekdays
• Weekends
• Other times
Out of 2,170 residential properties and businesses contacted, 141 responsed via our online consultation.
Responses showed some streets were against the introduction of a residential parking scheme. However more support was expressed in favour of the scheme towards the southern end of Tudor Road and around Tudor Close where inconsiderate and illegal parking is taking place.
Amongst other comments, 77 responses asked for a 24 hours a day, seven days a week residential parking scheme; 19 responses asked for the scheme at other times; and 18 responses asked for 8am-6pm scheme during weekdays. A further nine responses asked for 24 hours a day during weekdays only scheme; seven responses asked for a weekend only scheme and six for the 10.30-11.30am, weekdays option. Five respondents did not answer the question.
All comments have been scrutinised and noted. The overall consultation response has been relatively low and inconclusive. Therefore, no further action will be undertaken by the Leicester City Council at present. Whilst the council will not be taking forward resident parking scheme at the moment, it is looking into the issue of ongoing inconsiderate parking in and around the Tudor Close area and how it can be prevented.
A number of residents have raised concerns about parking issues in the Tudor Road area. The majority of these relate to difficulties finding parking spaces close to their home due to commuters or other visitors to the area taking up available parking spaces.
We would like to hear your views on a proposal to introduce a controlled residents parking zone in the area.
