Permit parking in West Norwood town centre

The proposal

Lambeth council is consulting on a new controlled parking zone (CPZ) in West Norwood town centre. The proposed CPZ lies between Norwood Road, Auckland Hill, Thurlby Road and Knollys Road  (area outlined on the map) and is expected to be implemented by the end of 2025.

This informal stage consultation is asking for views and suggestions from local residents & organisations. It ends on Sunday 25th May.  For details of the proposed CPZ see here

Most parts of Lambeth are already in a CPZ. The West Norwood town centre CPZ is one of the last new parking zones in Lambeth. CPZs reduce commuter parking and remove abandoned & illegal vehicles from the road. Over time a CPZ encourages many people to use their cars less and make our air cleaner. Some London boroughs are already entirely within CPZs -for example Camden, Tower Hamlets. Kensington & Chelsea

Options to consider

A local CPZ needs to get the right balance. That is between reducing parking by commuters, taking up spaces in side streets all day to use the stations or buses for their onward journey, enabling short term parking by shoppers, workers in local organisations, visitors to homes, schools & care homes, and tradespeople carrying out work in homes.

Lambeth’s CPZs have variable operating or enforcement hours usually limited to Mondays to Fridays. These can be a two hour zone 10am to 12noon, as in many other Lambeth CPZs. This  is preferred by many local people over the longer hours of 10am to 4pm or 8.30am to 6.30pm.

Have your say

For residents and organisations inside the proposed West Norwood town centre CPZ please use the online survey. It has two “other boxes” to use for comments.  Alternatively please write to the email address:  CPZconsultation@lambeth.gov.uk saying its about the West Norwood town centre CPZ.

People not online can phone 020 7926 6799 for a paper copy of the survey & documents. You can also look at  paper copies of the documents in the  West Norwood Library SE27 9JU .

Cllr Rezina Chowdhury, the councillor leading on Clean Air, will take all the responses into account before deciding on the next steps.

Controlled parking zone for West Norwood town centre

The council is planning a controlled parking zone (CPZ)  for West Norwood’s town centre. An informal public consultation is due to start in July 2023 on the new West Norwood Central CPZ.

Implementation in December 2024. The attached map suggests how a CPZ might look for West Norwood town centre ( coloured green). The one hour 30 minutes free parking bays should be retained.

Other parts of Norwood are due for a CPZ a year later.

For more details of the new CPZ programme for the south of Lambeth see:  https://moderngov.lambeth.gov.uk/ieDecisionDetails.aspx?ID=8323

Two thirds of the borough of Lambeth is now a CPZ – where residents pay for a permit to park in the CPZ where they live. There is usually an hourly charge, typically £3.94 an hour, depending on the CPZ, for parking in marked non-resident parking bays. Diesels pay more. Details of Lambeth’s parking schemes are here: https://www.lambeth.gov.uk/parking

The aim of CPZs is to reduce parking stress for local residents and businesses.
