Select Committee Corporate Resources & Infrastructure Select Committee Ward(s) Charville RECOMMENDATIONS That the Cabinet Member for Planning Housing & Growth: 1. Notes the results of the informal consultation on proposed pay and display bays and a disabled bay on Uxbridge Road, Hayes; and Cabinet Member Report – 12 September 2025 Page 2 Part 1 Public 2. Following discussions with local Ward Councillors, asks that officers arrange for statutory consultation to place on proposals for pay and display bays and a disabled bay on Uxbridge Road, Hayes outside Nos. 1092 to 1120 as seen in the plan attached as Appendix C. Reasons for recommendations These recommendations are in line with the views expressed by the local Ward Councillors. Alternative options considered / risk management None at this stage. Select Committee comments None at this stage. SUPPORTING INFORMATION 1. The Council received a petition requesting pay and display bays and a disabled bay to be considered for Uxbridge Road, Hayes between Park Road and Lansbury Drive, to help promote a turnover of parking bays. The petition was signed by residents living in surrounding roads and petitioners advised that parking on in this section of Uxbridge Road is constantly congested with vehicles parked all day, preventing customers from being able to utilise the available on-street parking availability. The petition advised this is inconvenient for visitors who may be encouraged to go to an alternative shop, or double park which is clearly unsafe and obstructive. 2. As the Cabinet Member will be aware, loading and waiting throughout much of Uxbridge Road is already extensively covered with parking restrictions such as double yellow lines, single yellow lines, loading restrictions , and ‘stop and shop’ schemes. The section of Uxbridge Road between Park Road and Lansbury Drive is currently unrestricted, which means that anyone can park here for an unlimited amount of time. When officers visited the location, the on-street parking availability was taken up by cars and vans with double parking taking place in the section to the east of the shops, as well as to the west close to the traffic lights. A ‘stop and shop’ parking scheme could therefore be beneficial here to promote a turnover of parking availability for customers but also improve road safety. 3. Officers prepared a draft plan to show what a possible parking scheme here could look like if proposed, and how it would impact the existing parking availability. The bays would be arrayed along the kerb line with a disabled bay at the most sensible location. It is clear that a scheme such as this would reduce the parking in this section of road as the perpendicular parking and double parking would be no longer allowed during the operational times. It should also be noted that there are legal requirements which officers must follow when designing such schemes , such as the length of bays. It was helpful to include a possible plan within the informal consultation so that businesses and residents in the consultation Cabinet Member Report – 12 September 2025 Page 3 Part 1 Public area could get an idea of what a scheme would entail and be in a position to provide informed feedback. 4. A letter, questionnaire, plan of the informal consultation area and possible plan of a scheme were drafted and sent to local Ward Councillors for their comments prior to being posted to residents and businesses. Ward Councillors were supportive of t he consultation and so officers posted a consultation pack to 20 properties in an area agreed in liaison with local Ward Councillors, which can be seen in the plan attached to this report as Appendix A. The questionnaire also included space to indicate whether the response was on behalf of a business to better analyse the responses. 5. Out of the 20 consultation packs delivered, four responses were received which represents a response rate of 20%. All of the responses indicated that they were in favour of possible pay and display bays and disabled bay. Three out of the four response were on behalf of a business. The results of the informal consultation can be found in the table attached to this report as Appendix B. 6. The questionnaires also provided the opportunity to write comments on the possible plans. One business wrote “I would be only in favour of this decision if the local business owners and residents can get parking permits, as this will only divert the permanent abusers to local side roads and cause more traffic issues there”. This could contradict that this responder is in favour because as the Cabinet Member will be aware, pay and display bays are aimed at promoting a turnover of parking for visitors to the shops and services. The bays have a maximum stay of 2 hours with the usual operational times of ‘Monday to Sat urday 8am to 6:30pm’. This would mean that during the operational hours residents and business owners/ employees would need to find alternative parking. 7. The usual practise of proposed parking schemes such as this is to conduct an informal consultation with properties which would be directly affected by any changes to the parking which would be an area agreed in liaison with local Ward Councillors. The purpose of the informal consultation i s to g auge whether the plans would be supported by those directly affected by any changes before conducting a wider formal consulting on proposal s. The outcome of the informal consultation would usually determine how the Council proceeds; if the majority of responses are not in favour of the scheme, then the recommendation would be to deter the proposals unless directed otherwise by local Ward Councillors. If the majority of responses are in favour and supported by Ward Councillors, then the decision would usually be made to proceed to statutory consultation which is a legal 21- day consultation open for anyone to comment on the proposals. 8. During this particular informal consultation, photocopies had been made of the questionnaire and distributed, presumably to customer s and returned in stamped envelopes. As these were outside the informal consultation area these would not usually be considered. However, as there were around 80 responses from residents across a wide area, officers felt it was important to share this information with the local Ward Councillors to provide a full picture of the informal consultation. A summary of where these questionnaires came from can be seen in the table attached to this report as Appendix B. 9. All of the results were shared with local Ward Councillors to consider. One Councillor advised that they support a possible ‘Stop and Shop’ Parking Scheme in this section of Cabinet Member Report – 12 September 2025 Page 4 Part 1 Public Uxbridge Road ad it would increase road safety for residents, pedestrians, shoppers and drivers. Another Councillor advised that they also would support pay and display bays here, so long as the location is regularly visited by Civil Enforcement Officers to ensure the bays are being used correctly. 10. In conclusion, following the responses to the informal consultation and discussions with local Ward Councillors, it is recommended that officers proceed to formal consultation on a detailed scheme design for a ‘Stop and Shop’ scheme on Uxbridge Road, Hayes between Park Road and Lansbury Drive. Financial Implications The estimated cost associated with the recommendations to this report is £2,000. Spend will be managed within existing revenue budgets for the Transportation Service. RESIDENT BENEFIT & CONSULTATION The benefit or impact upon Hillingdon residents, service users and communities The proposals help promote the turnover of parking spaces and road safety. Consultation & Engagement carried out (or required) Informal consultation was carried out on plans for possible pay and display bays and a disabled bay outside Nos. 1092 to 1120 Uxbridge Road, Hayes. If the recommendations to these proposals are approved, then officers will need to organise for formal consultation to take place on detailed proposals. CORPORATE CONSIDERATIONS Corporate Finance Corporate Finance has reviewed the recommendations to this report and concurs with the financial implications as set out above. Legal The Council has conducted an informal consultation into proposed ‘pay and display’ parking bays and a disabled parking bay on Uxbridge Road, Hayes, between Park Road and Lansbury Drive, and this report now recommends proceeding to formal consultation. The Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 empowers the Council to introduce various road traffic measures, including introducing the proposed ‘pay and display’ parking bays and the proposed disabled parking bay on Uxbridge Road, Hayes, between Park Road and Lansbury Drive. The consultation and order-making statutory procedures to be followed are set out in Schedule 9 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 and the Local Authorities’ Traffic Orders (Procedures) (England and Wales) Regulations 1996. Cabinet Member Report – 12 September 2025 Page 5 Part 1 Public If the decision is taken following formal consultation to make the proposed order, Part 5 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 and the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2016 set out the signage requirements, which must be observed. In exercising any of the powers under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, section 122 of the 1984 Act requires the Council to consider its statutory duty to secure the expeditious, convenient and safe movement of vehicular and other traffic ( including pedestrians), and the provision of suitable and adequate parking facilities on and off the highway. These powers must be exercised so far as practicable having regard to the following matters: (a) the desirability of securing and maintaining reasonable access to premises; (b) the effect on the amenities of any locality affected and the importance of regulating and restricting the use of roads by heavy commercial vehicles, so as to preserve or improve amenities of the areas through which the roads run; (c) the national air quality strategy; (d) the importance of facilitating the passage of public service vehicles and of securing the safety and convenience of persons using or desiring to use such vehicles; and (e) any other matters appearing to the Council to be relevant. Availability for any Blue Badge holder to use the proposed disabled parking bay is a relevant consideration in deciding whether to make the order. The Council’s statutory duty must be balanced with the concerns raised by any objectors. Moreover, pursuant to established public law principles on consultation, namely fairness and adequacy, the decision maker, when coming to a decision on whether or not the proposal is to be progressed, must be satisfied that all consultation responses, including those that do not accord with the officer's recommendation, were conscientiously taken into account. The Council must also be mindful of its public sector equality duty under section 149 of the Equality Act 2010. In this instance, the informal consultation responses have informed the recommendation to progress the proposal to formal consultation. It must be ensured that the proceeding formal consultation and any subsequent action taken is in accordance with the rules and requirements mentioned above.
