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.
