TUDORS/REPTONS CAR PARKING CONSULTATION RESULTS
Many thanks to all residents who responded to this consultation by the local authority. Overall 55% of those responding said there is no car-parking problem in their road with 45% saying that there is a problem. These responses hide sharp differences in views between roads, however. In Tudor Gardens 82% said this is a problem and only 18% that there is not. In Tudor Drive 85% of respondents said there is no problem and only 15% that there is. In Tudor Avenue 65% said there is a problem and 35% there is no problem. In Repton Avenue 55% say there is no problem, 45% say there is. Repton Gardens; 73% there is a problem, 27% there is not. Repton Drive; 73% there is not a problem, 27% there is. The response rate in St. Ivians Drive and properties affected in Main Road was low. We are currently encouraging the Council to bring forward proposals for all residents in the area to consider which make progress in roads where residents report a problem, while recognising that those who currently do not have a problem will not want one created. We would be glad to hear from any resident who would like to be kept in touch with developments in the matter.
What is going on in the ROMFORD TOWN WARD of the London Borough of Havering Your Councillors are: Cllr. Wendy Brice-Thompson Cllr. Joshua Chapman Cllr. Frederick Thompson
