Thank you Mr Davy That’s all most reassuring. I would appreciate being kept up to speed with developments thank you. Kind regards

Put simply, we are currently seeking to restrict the section of Hermitage Lane (both sides) from the roundabout to a point immediately east of The Rise (The Rise also being subject to a proposed restriction). I just have a couple of proposals to iron out in another division but as soon as this is done, I will seek to commence a stakeholder consultation (consisting of such bodies as the District/Town Councils, transport providers, emergency services etc) and get some views on the initial proposals. I then intend to make a presentation to the next meeting of the North Mid Sussex County Local Committee in January 2016 as well as have a small exhibition of the proposals in advance of this meeting (members of the public will be able to attend this if they wish). Pending approval of the committee, I would then hope to consult the wider public on the proposals after this. I hope this helps clarify where things are at the moment but I would certainly suggest that you contact me again in mid December and I will be able to provide a more detailed update. I would also be happy to come and meet you on site to discuss the issues if need be. Please do not hesitate to contact me if I can assist further. Yours Sincerely Miles Davy

Dear Mr De Sousa Thank you for your reply & for taking the time for your site visit. Unfortunately your photos do not do justice to the situation &, in fact, the views that you have taken are looking in the wrong direction. I took the time to go up to the roundabout this lunchtime & attach three photos here that hopefully demonstrate the problem. The first shows the view from the top of Hermitage Lane by the roundabout & looking down towards Herontye Drive. This clearly shows how close to the roundabout the parking begins. The second view is from slightly further down Hermitage Lane & shows parked cars immediately opposite the entrance to Harwoods Lane, directly contravening the provisions of the Highway Code. The third view is taken further down at the start of Herontye Drive showing cars parked all the way down & past the entrance into Stuart Way. Can I suggest that somebody from Highways makes another visit to the site to examine the parking again, but this time by moving down Hermitage Lane & Herontye Drive rather than looking at the situation at the junction with Dunnings Road & Ship Street. Again, I would suggest this be done at around mid morning on a weekday (although having said that, it’s often the same, if not worse, on a Saturday !). Many thanks

Apologies for the lack of response you have experienced in the past, however I now cover the Mid-Sussex area since the 1st June 2015, and for your information I have had other similar enquiries concerning this location. I have carried out a site visit (13:20 8 Oct 2015) and did not observe any obvious hazardous parking during my visit, however I recorded my findings. To promote any restrictions at this location will require a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO), currently the TRO process is being reviewed, therefore unable to take on any new requests at this time. <image005.png><image006.png><image007.png>

Dear Mr Davy Thank you for giving me the opportunity to have an early view of your thoughts on proposed changes to Parking Restrictions in East Grinstead. I have not copied your email to the members of The East Grinstead Society to respect your request for confidentiality but I believe they will agree with the points I have to make. The general point you make about parking restrictions adjacent to school entrances being formalised is a good one and I am sure that it will be approved by all but the most slothful children. I also approve of the general introduction of double yellow lines at a number of junctions to improve visibility for traffic entering and leaving minor roads and the revision of the High Street parking to a ''herring bone'' formation , this should ease some of the more dangerous parking manoeuvres. On matters of detail I would like to suggest that on MMD-336576-C-DR-00-AA-0004 the KEY omits blue dashes. I assume they are proposed SYL ( no waiting 10am-11am Mon-Sat ). If I am correct then I would like to suggest that at least part of the new restrictions are altered to DYL ( no waiting at any time ) as the bend in Gardenwood Road as traffic approaches the viaduct is a dangerous one and there is only a restricted view of traffic coming up the road from Brooklands Way. It is dangerous at the moment with no restriction on parking and would remain so on Sundays and any other day excluding 10am -11am. It is probably outside your remit but a general improvement in the enforcing of parking restrictions would be very welcome. We can applaud you for seeking to improve the controlled parking zones but if people decide simply to flout the restrictions, particularly in the centre of East Grinstead, then all your shiny new paint will be wasted.

From: Donal Cook <xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx>Sent: 03 January 2016 12:03To: Miles DavySubject: Proposed Parking Scheme Changes Consultation

Hello Mr Davy  I understand you are now seeking views/comments on the proposed changes in East Grinstead and in our case with regard to Hurst Farm Road. In the first instance we support the proposed changes as shown on the drawings for Hurst Farm Road.  My comments from our previous correspondence with regard to ongoing parking/traffic/speed/ line of sight issues still stand. I would say over the two year period it has worsened and is more consistent since the implementation of the changes in 2013. Parking of vehicles either by commuters or non‐permit holder residents has crept along Hurst Farm Road. Some vehicles stay over a period of days. Inconsiderate parking leaves vehicles tight against either side of our drive way entrance and blocks views in both directions when either reversing or driving out. With the view blocked it is very dangerous and has resulted in many near misses – in particular cyclists, motorbikes and speeding vehicles. Although the parking of vehicles restricts the available width of the carriageway it hasn’t tempered the speed of local traffic – there have been numerous small collisions (wing mirrors etc.) sounding of horns (at all hours) and arguments between drivers. We have invested in a complete new driveway to accommodate our vehicles, which also allows us to turn before leaving but it does not alleviate the restricted views by the parked vehicles or speeding vehicles (consistent) along Hurst Farm Road. This coupled with a blind spot created by the course of the road between Harvest Hill and Nightingale Close doesn’t affect drivers behaviour and their consideration for residents leaving driveways, resulting in aggressive driving.  I have some other observations to the proposed changes:   

‐ While we may benefit I can only see vehicles parking further along the length of Hurst Farm Road (Harvest Hill and Nightingale Close already have vehicles parked there) 

‐ Since Hurst Farm Road and Garden Wood Road are the unofficial ring road of East Grinstead please consider more speed control restrictions (20 mph for instance) 

‐ More road safety signage – Hurst Farm Road has a warning sign for Ducks but not for Children/Pedestrians crossing the road!  

 To summarise we support the changes but would also like to see some speed restriction/control along the length of Hurst Farm Road.  I look forward to hearing the outcome – what is the timescale?  All the best  Donal & Anna Cook 44 Hurst Farm Road East Grinstead West Sussex RH19 4DH

I live in Halsford Park Road and am currently try not effected by either commuters or by the school runs. However I feel that if the parking restrictions were to be it would soon become a problem to us as it will push commuters further to us and thus cause a real problem for parking at school runs. This then creates a safety issue for children as when the roads become congested it becomes unsafe for them to cross thus causing unthinkable accidents. If the restrictions are to try and stop commuters parking down residential roads we all know that this will not be effective and they will simply fond somewhere else to park.Would it not just make more sense to everyone to reduce station parking costs and allow commuters to leave their cars somewhere safe and appropriate where it does not effect others. If the parking changes take place despite the many objections I fear that our house will also lose value. I found out about this whole scenario from Facebook where many parents and residents are concerned about the proposed changes. I hope that our voices are heard and that some other plans can be put in place which are agreeable to everyone. Yours Sincerely Mrs G GAULD Sent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone.

From: Greg Shelley <xxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxx.xxx>Sent: 29 December 2015 17:38To: Miles DavySubject: Re: East Grinstead - Proposed Changes to Parking Restrictions

Dear Miles, I would like to raise my concerns with you regarding the proposed changes to the parking restrictions in East Grinstead. I live at 35 Heathcote Drive (detailed on page 7 of the attached PDF). The current situation means we have a regular group of people who use the top of Heathcote Drive down to Meadowcroft to park their cars so that they can use the train station. Although this doesn't impact me currently, it is a nuisance for those whose houses they park outside and anyone else who regularly drive up and down Heathcote Drive. They not only have to avoid these parked cars but also the ridiculous speed bumps which don't slow people down instead causing them to drive more erratically to avoid them. Heathcote Drive is a busy road used by locals to avoid the rush hour congestion on the main London Road. It is also impacted twice a day by those dropping their children off at not only Halsford Park School but also St Peters School which is just round the corner on Crossways Avenue. There is also the small parade of shops, inc. a cafe & Post Office which in itself generates a regular stream of people parking on the road who wish dash into the shops. I feel the extra DYL shown on Heathcote Drive is not a good idea personally as it will result in pushing the train station parking further down Heathcote Drive towards the junction of Manor Road. With this part of Heathcote Drive used twice daily by the parents doing the school run and those using the parade of shops, I can only see more issues being caused. The road is difficult to cross as it is. My wife regularly battles getting across the road with kids when taking them to school due the parked cars blocking clear views up and down the road and the volume of local traffic using the road as a cut through to avoid congestion elsewhere. In have 2 suggestions. The first would be to consult the owners of the station parking and see if they can reduce the cost of parking at the designated station car park. I regularly walk past the car park and notice it is always half empty (or half full if you are an optimist!) The second would be to change the proposal to have DYL on Heathcote Drive and instead make them SYL on both sides from the top of Heathcote Drive all the way down the junction of Garden Wood Road. This would prevent the station parking but would still allow the school and shop parking. I do still agree that DYL around all the junctions with both Manor Road, Meadowcroft, Linden Avenue and Halsford Park Road is a good idea as this will prevent the ridiculous and frankly dangerous parking seen by parents doing the school drop off. As a consequence, this will help to ease the road crossing challenges seen by those walking their children to school. Hope that helps. Happy to add more detail if required. Kind regards, Greg & Claire Shelley

I don't see some parents running late paying much attention to it, they often don't care, which is disappointing not to mention a bad example to their children, but there you go....I have tried to speak with some of them in the past, but to no avail. In addition, it will cause a back log of traffic pulling up outside my house and invariably cause immense difficulties for me leaving my house. I am a parent and my children attend a different school so I always need access during school run times. In addition these proposals will push commuters currently parking at the top end of heathcote drive down into manor road, linden ave, halsford park road and meadowcroft close, causing even greater problems particularly during school times. Since these proposals concern children, both local and those attending the school, their safety should be considered far more carefully than I think these proposals allow. Surely a simple parking restriction between 10-11am and restrictions just on the corners of the junctions (rather than part way up the road) will encourage parents to park safely and prevent daily commuter parking. Incentives for more efficient parking costs should be addressed with the train station to further aid this problem. I trust this feedback will be taken quite seriously. I am aware the majority of residents feel the same. Regards Mrs Turner. Sent from Samsung Mobile on O2

Dear Mr Davy

I am writing to you regarding the proposed changes in parking restrictions in East Grinstead particularly those affecting the Imberhorne Estate. My family have been Imberhorne residents for almost 30 years and we are very concerned regarding the change in vehicle movements in that time,the area has become a rat run for vehicles of all types trying to avoid congestion on both the A22 and A264,the design and topography of the estate was never intended to handle this volume of traffic.Another serious problem that has arisen in recent years is that of parking,Heathcote Drive at its southern end between Blount Avenue and Manor Road has become a dumping ground for commuters using East Grinstead railway station,these parked vehicles coupled with the ineffective speed humps have made the road very hazardous to negotiate.

There are three large schools in the immediate area, Imberhorne,Halsford Park and St Peters,between them they generate large numbers of cars during school run times adding to the overall problems.

I believe this worsening situation should be addressed sooner rather than later and that if nothing is done it is only a matter of time before a serious accident occurs.Perhaps consideration could be given to the following -

Restricted access to large vehicles entering the estate

2

Greater use of ' resident parking only areas '

Traffic wardens being deployed at problem times

School crossing patrols being re instated

Re think the traffic calming measure in Heathcote Drive

Encourage the school authorities and parents to cut down on car use

Consultation between British Rail, Sainsburys and WSCC to make better use of available parking spaces

Dear Ms Lockley,   Thank you for your contact regarding parking congestion affecting Herontye Drive and Hermitage Lane, East Grinstead.   

The linked image cannot be displayed. The file may have been moved, renamed, or deleted. Verify that the link points to the correct file and location.

 I have already been aware of the parking congestion in Hermitage Lane between the roundabout and The Rise. My last visit to this location was 8 October 2015, although I did not observe an immediate hazard during my visit I took photographic evidence highlighting the nature of parking. This could possibly benefit from some parking restrictions, however there is a danger that it may cause a negative displacement, therefore any future scheme would need to consider the potential consequence.

I am not so familiar with the parking issues in Herontye Drive off Lewes Road, also affecting Glendyne Way. Obviously we need to understand what is generating the parking trends, but one option that could be considered is the extension of double yellow line protection from Lewes Road into Herontye Drive, and possibly provide new double yellow lines protection on the junction of Glendyne Way, this would reinforce rule 243 of The Highway Code.

The linked image cannot be displayed. The file may have been moved, renamed, or deleted. Verify that the link points to the correct file and location.

 The recommendations involving parking restrictions will require a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO), which at this time is being reviewed, therefore no new request are being accepted. However, this does not stop community engage with the Local Member John O’Brien to promote a future scheme. Please note the TRO option is a long term option, and due to the legal element it is a lengthy process.   I have taken this opportunity to copy in Cllr John O’Brien so he is aware of your concern and my response.  Regards. Nick De Sousa Traffic Engineer – Mid Sussex Team Residents’ Services – Highways and Transport  West Sussex County Council

From: QuackyTatty@aol.comSent: 04 January 2016 18:50To: Miles DavyCc: QuackyTatty@aol.comSubject: Car Parking Changes in East Grinstead

Dear Sir,

Car Parking Changes in East Grinstead

This letter is not to be put on any type of social media/forums but is to be used by the Council authorities when making decisions. Please do not make my name public.

I write concerning the proposed new parking changes in East Grinstead. Firstly I consider this ‘consultative process’ to be flawed. I live on one of the roads affected and I have not received nor seen any information about this apart from an email sent to me by the Imberhorne residents association. If I was not a member of the association I would be none the wiser. None of my neighbours/friends in EG have any idea that these changes are being proposed so will not be able to comment. The council has certainly kept these changes very quiet.

Whilst it is true that our local roads are very clogged up, the Council is merely treating the symptoms and not the causes. More houses leads to more families and more children being crammed into schools that were only intended for a small number of children. It also leads to more commuters needing access to parking near the railway stations. Your proposed changes do nothing to alleviate this nor in most instances do they improve safety. The changes will only push the problem a bit further down the roads and cause immense problems for residents and their visitors who need to park cars outside their houses. I am particularly talking about your proposed ‘no parking at any time’ zones. These zones should only be used directly in front of schools or on street corners. From my real experience (I live there) the parked cars actually slow down the traffic which is a good thing. When there are no parked cars – speeding cars are a regular occurrence in Heathcote Drive made worse by the fact that these cars are speeding/swerving in the middle of the road to accommodate the ‘humps’ that were supposed to slow them down.

I have lived in Heathcote Drive for 30 years and during that time brought up 4 children. I am fortunate that I have a large drive way to accommodate cars so these changes won’t directly affect me. However to expect a stressed mum with perhaps a newborn, a 18 month old and a 5 year old to walk to school when it is pouring with rain is unreasonable. Equally if a mum has to park even 500 + yards away with the said children – she is left with 2 choices – leave her baby and toddler alone in the car whilst she dashes in to get the 5 year old or take the little ones with her – rushing around in the rain with prams and small children in a congested area is, I believe, more dangerous than allowing parents to park near to the school.

I turn specifically to your proposals:

Shelly Road/Kipling Way – Why is this necessary – apart from the fact that the area is congested. Residents have to park somewhere? By making it no parking between 10-11am you are clearly aiming this at commuters but will inconvenience residents who park their cars outside their houses for the day. The road surfaces could do with some work. Disagree with this

2

Garden Wood Road (from Kipling Way to roundabout) - The orange no waiting at any time is a good idea. However again the blue proposals are aimed at commuters but will also inconvenience residents who will have to remember to move their cars (to where????) between 10-11am. Disagree with Blue zone

Stonleigh Close – Blue zone – again aimed at people trying to work in East Grinstead and will also be a nightmare for residents who have to remember to move their cars. Again the Council planners are happy to allow dwellings without drives to be built. Where are people to park??? Disagree with this

Crossways avenue – opposite St Peters School. The first sensible suggestion.

Blount Avenue – Blue zone – again aimed at commuters and school mums but will also be a nightmare for residents. It will just push the problem further down the road. Disagree with this

Heathcote Drive/Manor Road – Red Zone. I agree that the corners of Manor Road/Heathcote Drive should be red. It is very congested at school times. However by extending this into Manor Road you are merely going to create a problem elsewhere. Where do you expect mums to park to pick up their young children?? They will merely park further away in Heathcote/ further up Manor Road/ Linden/Halsford Park Road. They have no option. Also by making it a red zone you are effectively banning residents from parking in front of their houses on perfectly wide roads. Why? Disagree with this.

Heathcote Drive – Your red zone plans for the upper end of Heathcote Drive are ridiculous. Again this is aimed at commuters and not for any safety reason. Residents and their visitors will not be able to park outside their houses. And it will just push the problem further down Heathcote Drive and into the smaller side roads where it will be a problem for everyone. In 2014 you attempted to make all these areas resident permit areas (i.e happy for people to park as long as they paid) now you are trying to stop people parking on wide accessible residential streets. – Disagree with this.

Fairlawn Drive - – there is no problem there – but there might well be if the school mums are forced further down the road.

Again my family is fortunate in that we have a drive and can walk to the station and I no longer have school going children. But I absolutely defend the right of residents and their visitors to park outside their own houses at any time. I also feel that unless there is a huge safety concern anyone should be able to park along the residential streets including the hard-pressed commuter. The station car park is expensive and is always full. Where to you expect commuters to park???? The only solution for some of them will be to be dropped off and collected by someone creating massive congestion at the railway drop off area which is already a nightmare and totally inadequate at busy times.

Maypole Road – Blue zone – not necessary and again aimed at commuters and school mums. Disagree with this

Garland Road/Fosters Place. All very well but again the Planners have allowed dwellings to be built without adequate parking provisions. Where are these poor people supposed to park???

I am not going to comment on the other areas as I do not live there and have little local knowledge but I must again stress that your ‘Consultation process’ is not valid and residents who will be directly affected have not been directly consulted by the Council and presumably will wake up one day to find they can no longer park outside their houses.

Just a random thought but instead of forcing school mums to park further and further away would it not be possible to close these roads off to all other traffic and make them one way for 20 minutes in the morning and afternoon. There are alternative routes on all the school roads for other traffic. This has to be safer option. I am sure with the correct approach and consultation the majority of residents would be happy to do this to ensure the safety of our children.

T O’Donovan

----- Forwarded Message ----- From: STUART BARTON <stuartbarton@btopenworld.com> To: "miles.davy@westsussex.gov.uk" <milesdavy@westsussex.gov.uk> Sent: Sunday, 3 January 2016, 18:08 Subject: HURST FARM ROAD PARKING Dear Miles, As you know Hurst Farm road has been for many years a Rat Run for commuter traffic and also as you have stated with the latest parking arrangements introduced in 2013 has now become a commuter car park with absolutely no consideration for the residents. Heavy traffic starts early in the morning till late at night every day (06.00-23.00) including weekends. As the latest parking single yellow line finishes outside our property we have the added noise pollution of vehicles stopping and starting continually as the road is not wide enough for two lanes of traffic and the commuter’s parked cars, people leaving their cars and going on holiday! Accessing and departing our property has become very dangerous for us and the traffic using the road. It is very obvious that due to the width of the road and the ongoing parking problems there should be double yellow lines on both sides at least as far as Harvest Hill if not the entire road. We could go on but we feel that MSDC would not be remotely interested as it would not generate any revenue for them. Having looked at the proposed extension of the single lines from our property to the junction of Nightingale Close this would at least be some improvement. F.Y.I. Our address is 50 Hurst Farm Road. Yours Sincerely, Stuart & Carol Barton.

Miles Thank you for responding to my query. I do not think that it is appropriate for me to comment on parking in other areas in East Grinstead as I am not a resident there, but have commented on the parking around East Grinstead train station and knock-on effect on local residents. I have circulated these proposals to the other residents in Nightingale Close and also along Hurst Farm Road. As I said in my original email, the changes that MSDC made to the parking in Brooklands Way and around Hurst Farm Road in 2013 has had enormous repercussions for local residents. I reiterate below the key points;- - you have forced commuters (who historically - for at least the 18 years that I have lived here at least - parked safely and with no impact on local residents on Brooklands Way) to park dangerously and haphazardly along all of the neighbouring roads (Hurst Farm Road, Harvest Hill, Nightingale Close, Gardenwood Road etc ) All of these roads are residential areas, also very busy cut-through roads from one end of East Grinstead to the other and two schools in the vicinity and busy bus routes. - The commuter cars are parked between 630am-8pm all day on bends; brow of hills ; either sides of resident’s drives, up on grass verges; up on pavements ; often double parked either side of a road with no consideration of impact of their parking on local residents during the day. - Hurst Farm Road - Incredibly dangerous and inconsiderate parking by commuter cars along Hurst Farm Road making visibility a huge issue and almost impossible to know when it is safe to pull out to overtake parked commuter cars on the brow of the hill (opposite Nightingale Close) and a bend and also trying to access Nightingale Close. - Nightingale Close- this is a very narrow cul-de-sac and since the changes made to the commuter parking in Brooklands Way in 2013, residents had had daily occurrences of refuse lorries having difficulties reversing down the close (as its too small to drive into and turn around) to collect refuse; non-delivery of large items from lorries because they cannot gain access and also extreme difficulty in entering/ exiting the close and drives due to the commuter cars. You would see if you were ever to visit the close, that residents do not parkin their own road as it is obvious how narrow it is and what issues this will cause other residents. (We even had an issue recently with an ambulance unable to reverse down the close to collect a sickly elderly resident due to the commuter cars parked.) - SYL parking - as there is current or planned SYL parking restrictions in force in The Rise, Lodge Close, Stoneleigh Close and Parkside (none of which are affected by commuter parking like Nightingale Close is) I do not understand why you propose to end the SYL restrictions in Nightingale Close at the end of the drives of No 1,2 and 10. All this will do is encourage commuters to park around our drives continuing to make deliveries and access a nightmare as that is the first place that they can park nearest the station. Can you explain why you consider SYL appropriate for these other roads that are unaffected by commuter parking , but not ours? I would also be interested to understand the sense of ending the restrictions at the end of three houses’ drives in a narrow cul-de-sac? - I appreciate that commuters have to park somewhere but no-one can understand why the original parking available along Brooklands Way was a problem. Also can we please have some common sense prevail regarding the appreciation of residents rights to access their own properties and to be able to access/exit their drives and be able to have their refuse collected and deliveries made without issue.

I am sure if someone actually came to visit the area on a weekday morning between 630am-930am and 4-7.30pm, it would be completely evident what the impact of these changes have made and the misery it has bought to local residents. In stark contrast, if you look at Brooklands Way where commuters have happily parked for 20 years, there are no cars parked anywhere and no visibility or access issues. I look forward to hearing from you Amanda Williams 10 Nightingale Close East Grinstead West Sussex RH19 4DG

Dear Mr& Mrs Wilson-Jones Thank you for the time you have taken to contact me to express your concerns at the parking review consultation to be considered at our next CLC committee. As a resident of imberhorne I have every sympathy with the issues you raise and I can assure you both that I am working with officers to find the most appropriate solutions to the increasing problem of inconsiderate and dangerous parking in the area. I have forward your comments to officers at county to be included in responses received and hope I may look forward to welcoming you to our CLC meeting if you can make this date. In the meanwhile please feel free to call me on: 07880837362 If you wish to discuss this matter further.

Dear Heidi

We are emailing you in your role as Mid-Sussex District Councillor and West Sussex County Councillor. We also understand that you are a member of the County Local Committee which will be meeting on 13th January.

We have recently seen information (by chance) on the WSCC website regarding residential parking proposals for East Grinstead and are contacting you to express our concern that a road that is already dangerous due to commuter parking is not covered by these proposals and will suffer further as a result will undoubtedly push more cars into our already dangerous road. We are also very

2

disappointed that this information has not been sent out to residents who will be impacted if these proposals go ahead.

The Heathcote Drive end of Halsford Park Road is blighted by commuter parking 7 days a week; we also frequently have people park their cars and leave the car while on holiday; those that live in neighbouring roads (eg Garland, Maypole and Crescent Road) but do not have a resident’s parking permit or are staying with residents in those roads.

Parking by commuters is inconsiderate, on the grass verge, overhanging driveways, so tight to driveways that access on / off is impossible. Frequently we pull off our driveway unable to see if anything is coming up / down the road as parked vehicles are obscuring our vision. Crossing the road on the school run with three young children is becoming more and more hazardous.

Frequently larger vans and HGV’s have to reverse back up the road because they cannot negotiate their way through the road with all the parked vehicles. Worryingly, this is becoming a more and more common sight. Delivery vehicles often end up blocking the road just to make their delivery. We have had situations where deliveries have been refused because they cannot park near our home.

Drivers regularly drive along the grass verge and pavement because they are too impatient to wait a couple of minutes or because they are refusing to give way to another vehicle coming along the road. Alarmingly with no respect to pedestrians, I have witnessed children almost being hit by cars driving along the pavement – too fast to take details or photos.

Numerous residents have on many, many occasions over a number of years contacted WSCC with their concerns. We ourselves have done and were told to contact Sussex Police. However the Police have advised it is not their issue to deal with and concerns should be addressed to WSCC.

The introduction of restrictions to Crossways Avenue a couple of years ago has made the situation at our end of Halsford Park Road worse. We are virtually

3

opposite Crossways Avenue and we cannot understand why our road is still being ignored and left dangerous.

The new proposals for the town directly impact some of our neighbouring roads so where to WSCC anticipate commuters parking in these areas will go?

We write expressing not only our views but also those of a number of our neighbours and we do hope that you will be able to support us in finding a solution to our daily difficulties and dangers before an accident takes place.

Many thanks. We look forward to hearing from you.

With Kind Regards

Emma and Wayne Wilson-Jones

Mr Miles Davy.  As a home owner and resident of Hurst Farm Road East Grinstead I fully support the proposal of additional measures to reduce the on road parking in Hurst Farm Road. However after reviewing the proposal (sheet 1) which identifies the new proposal along Hurst Farm Road I am concerned that this proposal does not go far enough.  I reside at 40 Hurst Farm Road and as you can see from the attached proposal plan the parking restriction stops directly outside my address.   The bend in Hurst Farm Road, between Nightingale Close and Southlands, has on many occasions been the location of collisions and near misses as Cars Park around the brow of the hill (outside house numbers 40. 42 and 44.) and traffic speed down the hill. If the proposal was to stop at the location currently shown (outside 40) it would encourage the commuter parking to park on what is already a dangerous bend. I currently struggle to have a clear unobstructed view as I either enter or exit my driveway and have had numerous arguments with commuters who show a total disregard for the residents of the area and park directly outside 38, 40, 42 and 44 Hurst Farm Road, thus making exiting my driveway extremely hazardous.  I would like to see the proposal, as a minimum extended with the “no waiting at any time” continued along the stretch of Hurst Farm Road between Nightingale Close and Harvest Hill which would prevent the dangerous practice of parking around the bend.  I believe a survey of the area with cars parked in the area which is currently shown as unrestricted would substantiate my claims and concerns.   Please can you review the proposal and look to extend the parking restriction in line with my request.  I look forward to hearing back from you with a proposed amendment to the plans incorporating the extension to the no waiting at any time   Yours sincerely   Mike King

Dear Mike   Thank you for your e-mail.

The intention is to report back any stakeholder comments at the next County Local Committee meeting which is on the 13th January. I will also seek the views of County Councillors at this meeting on how/if we should consult more widely in the new year.    Just so you know, we are looking at extending the yellow lines in Kipling Way, in particular around the junction with Shelley Road as well as in Garden Wood Road itself. This is primarily

to improve access as well as visibility at junctions. There are no proposals for a permit based parking scheme at this time.    You are more than welcome to attend the meeting on the 13th January but if you cant, I would be happy to provide a full run down of the events to you later that week if you contacted me.   Yours Sincerely Miles Davy   From: Mike Pentland [mailto:mike@kennedy-hygiene.com] Sent: 03 December 2015 12:03 To: Miles Davy Subject: RE: East Grinstead   Dear Mr Davy   You suggested in your earlier email that I should contact you again in early December to see if there is any update to the proposals to resolve the parking issues that we have in Shelley Road and Kipling Way in East Grinstead. Can you give me any indication on how you will proceed.   Yours Sincerely Mike Pentland (Resident)

Hi Miles, In general terms Sussex Police has no objections to the proposals as outlined, however we do have some reservations regarding the long length of double yellow line in Garden Wood Road, especially during 10am- 11am as it may be possible there will be no on street parking and therefore it is possible vehicle speeds will increase. The same could be said in relation to the proposed double yellow lines in Bourg de Peage Avenue. Has the Authority taken that into consideration and considered that they may need to introduce other measures if speeds were found to have increased? Regards, Ian

Comments on proposed changes to parking arrangements in East Grinstead Miles The changes suggested for Kipling Way and Garden Wood Road would certainly help to reduce the safety hazards caused by commuter parking, particularly on the bends. With regard to Kipling Way. I am sure that commuters would just parking further down Kipling Way. Kipling Way is the feeder road to the rest of this part of Garden Wood and hence carries all the traffic using the side roads. I would suggest that the restrictive parking proposals for Kipling Way be extended to the bottom of the road to the junction with Garden Wood Road. Some displaced Commuters will no doubt start parking in the side roads on Garden Wood but I am aware not all residents want parking restrictions. They often change their mind after the new arrangements are introduced. Hopefully you had a good response to your survey so you can assess the views of all our residents. regards John Shead G.W Residents Co On 3 December 2015 at 18:37, Miles Davy <mxxxx.xxxx@xxxxxxxxxx.xxx.xx> wrote:

Hi, I am the owner of number 46 Hurst Farm Road, I have looked at the new proposals for parking, I would like to see the double yellow lines extended to outside number 46, I have had many problems since the 2013 scheme started. I do appreciate that if it goes ahead there will be single lines outside my house, which would of course help with the day time parking, it has been a nightmare since the parking zone was implemented. I have on many occasions needed some‐one to see me out of my own drive, due to zero visibility.  I get cars that park outside during the evening & all night, which is so dangerous !! and only double yellow lines would resolve this.    Kind regards,  Barbara McLeod  46 Hurst Farm Road East grinstead West Sussex RH19 4DH

From: Miles Davy On Behalf Of CCD Parking Sent: 05 January 2016 15:14 To: Miles Davy Subject: FW: RE: East Grinstead parking consultation From: Lucy Hall [mailto:rossiterlucy@hotmail.com] Sent: 05 January 2016 12:00 To: CCD Parking Subject: Re: RE: East Grinstead parking consultation Dear Miles Many thanks for your reply. I live at 31 Heathcote Drive and my son attends Halsford Park School on Manor Road. My main concern is with the number of cars which park at the eastern end of Heathcote Drive and on Meadowcroft Close. People using East Grinstead station park there all day rather than using the station car park because it is free. It has been noticeable that the parked cars have been creeping further and further down Heathcote Drive and my concern is that by adding more double yellow lines this will just push the problem further down the road even closer to the school, causing even more congestion and jostling for parking spaces at school drop off/pick up times. It will by no means prevent obstructive/long term parking and whereas at the moment the cars parked for the station and those parking for the school don't quite meet, they will if double yellow lines force the station parkers further down the road. It is already very difficult to cross the road between parked cars and I don't see how shifting parked cars closer to the school can make the area any safer for road users or pedestrians. Heathcote Drive is a fairly busy road in and out of East Grinstead used by many people, not just local residents and those for the school, and the 30mph speed limit is not adhered to, let alone the 20mph at school times. I'm hoping that an alternative to the proposed double yellow lines can be considered such as a single yellow line extending from Heathcote Drive's junction with Crossways Avenue west to beyond Manor Road with parking prohibited between 10am and 11am for example to prevent people parking for the station using this area at all. Many thanks for your attention. Kind regards Lucy Tuesday, 5 January 2016, 09:30 +0000 from xxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxx.xxx.xx <xxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxx.xxx.xx>:

Dear Lucy

Please see link below for further information. Please forward any comments to me at miles.davy@westsussex.gov.uk

Just to clarify where things currently stand, this is not a public consultation per se. We have informed a number of stakeholders (including the emergency services and resident associations etc) about the initial proposals and are keen to get some comments before County Councillors make a decision on whether to consult more widely with the public. The idea behind the proposals for Manor Road etc is to ensure safe access/visibility close to the school and prevent obstructive/long term parking.

Yours Sincerely

Miles Davy

The PROBLEM is the parking of (mainly) commuter vehicles on our estate and there are 2 main causes of this, a) the cost of parking at car parks and b) the introduction of parking restrictions in other roads in the town and the on‐going spread of these.  The ISSUES arising from the PROBLEM are a) limited parking for residents, b) dangers arising from the volume of parked cars, especially on bends and at and opposite road junctions, c) access difficulties for large vehicles (utilities, emergency services, deliveries etc.) and d) residents various emotional objections to so many vehicles being parked on our streets.  The SOLUTION needs to provide for the following,  a) freedom for residents to park their cars at or near their homes without causing inconvenience or a danger to others (these are not houses on a main road but on a housing estate that is not part of a main thoroughfare) b) parking restrictions for non residents c) adequate free or reasonably priced car parks for commuters, visitors to the town and those working in the town d) parking restrictions for all where a danger would be presented (on bends and at or opposite road junctions)   There is no doubt that the current problem is one created by the Council and many feel that enough is enough.  Parking bays with an annual fee of £60 or more are not the answer as the no. of bays is far too limiting and the fees are far too high. As a resident I would not object to a reasonable fee to cover administration of issuing residents parking permits (say £20 per car) and this would allow residents to continue to park at or near their house whilst denying commuters the right to park. However, this would still present a problem for visitors and workmen (builders, plumbers, installers etc.).  As the problem has been caused by non residents looking for ways to avoid paying parking fees then surely this where the Council needs to concentrate it's efforts. I am aware that there is a split of responsibilities between Highways (West Sussex County Council) and Parking (Mid Sussex Council) but this problem requires a joined up solution which I am sure is not beyond the capabilities of both parties.  I would strongly recommend a halt to all new parking restrictions, except those designed to remove danger, until a proper solution can be found that doesn't penalise residents and make lives impossible.  Regards,  Colin Tooth (residing at 7 Keats Place).

From: johnclay@talktalk.net [mailto:johnxxxx@xxxxxxxx.xxx ] Sent: 23 January 2016 18:20 To: Rachel Allan Subject: Parking proposals for Shelley Road, Keats Place and Kipling Way Dear Rachel Living close to East Grinstead Station we have for a long time suffered from the effects of commuter parking. Having just seen a copy of the proposals I am disturbed to see that although restrictions have been proposed for several of the danger areas (especially on the Garden wood road). Shelley road has not been proposed for extending the yellow lines. Commuters in our road usually park on the left side (going down hill towards Kipling Way). There is quite a bend here and the restricted sight lines, especially if coming up the hill are a danger. When people park staggered on both sides it becomes a problem of access and there has been an instance of the bin lorry being unable to access the road. This could of course have been an emergency vehicle. Commuter parking has been a problem for a long time, since the cost of the station car park is high, and even more of a problem since the relatively new restrictions in Garden Wood Road have pushed them into seeking other places. I am therefore in favour of seeing the yellow lines being extended the full length of Shelley road, and even more so on the Garden Wood road - why that has been allowed for so long I don't know.

Dear Sir

I live in Newlands Crescent, East Grinstead.

I have seen the current proposals for extending the East Grinstead residents parking zones.

With the adoption of these proposals and the existing scheme residents in Newlands Crescent are at a greater risk of an increase in the volume of motor vehicle movements and parking.

This road will be one of the few roads within a half a mile radius of the town centre and railway station not covered by parking restrictions.

Can serious consideration be given to including Newlands Crescent in the proposals that your company are managing<

Dear Miles

I was good to meet your team at the E.G. town council. Following viewing I would like to make the following comments:

First I find that the proposals for Garden Wood road are very good and a long time coming. It is such a dangerous position to park on the bend before the viaduct. Do people take any notice of the 'highway code' any longer?

For our part, we live at 17 Shelley road, just on the brow of the hill. We could never understand why the yellow line, that has worked so well further along towards the station, was never extended the whole length of the road. From where it ends and up to the junction many of the properties now have two bays. This squeezes commuter cars into a staggered formation at one end, causing vehicles to do a slalom (and making it very difficult to reverse into our drive). Further down the parking is then in a line going round the bend. Vision for vehicles is severely restricted, especially if you are coming up the hill. The extension of the single yellow line down to the junction would restrict commuter parking but allow visitors after the restriction time. Weekends doesn't seem to present such a problem.

Kipling Way is also difficult by way of long lengths of cars on a curve restricting width and vision.

Hope this is helpful.

Blessings John Clay

Good Evening Following the consultation today I would like to make know our following concerns: We fully understand the safety and congestion issues here but we would remind you that following the previous alterations all that happened was that the cars affected started parking in another area. At this time we got many commuters parking in Blount Avenue at the eastern end (There are some restrictions at the end but very little) When your proposals come into force we can see that there will be commuter parking on both sides of Blount Avenue causing problems for large vehicles travelling down the road and difficulty in us geting out of our drive. This is also a cut through for school runs etc. hence a busy road at times. What we would like is restricted parking on at least one side say 10-11 Monday to Friday. Yours Barry & Valerie Byrne 36 Blount Avenue

Dear Ms Allan I was away last week at the time of the meeting at EG library regarding commuter parking on Garden Wood, as a resident I have to say that these proposals will not solve the parking problems as the commuters will find another road without no waiting restrictions so will only move the problem from one road to another, what is the answer to this problem which is a blight on our estate plus it does effect our daily lives I really don,t know, have restricted parking in every road I doubt wether the council would agree to that, the voucher scheme the council proposed originally would still not work because we would still have the commuters parking on our roads and it would only benefit the council by making money, if they did this would we see repairs to some of the roads on the estate some of which are in a bad state of repair I also doubt this having lived at my present address for 29 years now, I say have restricted parking on every road on Garden Wood but of course I am only one and I,m sure there are many who would disagree with me, how many West Sussex councillors have ever bothered to visit our estate an old adage of out of sight out of mind come to mind well perhaps I had better stop now, thank you for your time With regards Michael Pope 2 Christies East Grinstead RH19 1TH

Whilst I applaud the proposed parking restrictions, unfortunately I fear that they will prove to be totally inadequate. The lines on Shelley Rd will simply push the parking down towards Kipling way and when that is full on to Milton Crescent and other small Streets etc. There is already commuter parking on Milton Cres, though the situation at the moment is not as bad as on other parts of the estate. Hopefully the new restrictions will alleviate the serious problem of turning from Milton [low nos ] where one has to pull out from Milton with absolutely no view of Kipling Way. Extra parking at end of Milton-after the small restricted area will make an already difficult stretch of Rd an absolutely dangerous area. The road is full of residents parked cars and potholes and makes the bend blind . I have had a number of near misses there and one has to rely on people driving there taking care with their speed- not always the case. I greatly appreciate the proposed extension of restrictions on Garden Wood Rd. At the moment the parked cars make the bend blind and I and others have had many near misses there due to speeding. But the lack of thought given to this area some years ago makes me worry that the planning of the restrictions on GW Rd was not given enough thought-local residents could have told the Council this. Much more thought should be given to the whole of the proposals. The current plans will simply in the most part just move the problems on and more time and expense will be needed in a few years time.

What actually do rail commuters get for the high cost and why are season ticket holders not given free parking?? Secondly commuters are, as you well know, not parking sensibly or courteously. This is causing access problems for residents but more importantly utility and public services vehicles. As a tax payer I dont see why I have to contribute to solutions for issues caused by National Rail parking and the council not providing adequate cheap/free parking for commuters. I am all for single yellow lines in Keats Place and would be happy for the council to provide free parking permits for residents. I look forward to your reply and comments Best Regards, Chris Crofts 01342 410395 07834 658261

Thank you for your very prompt reply, Mr. Davy, and for attaching your 2015 update and link to CLC minutes - most useful, it has answered several questions for me. May I ask one question, please, arising from the most recent CLC meeting in January (item 58), when your oral presentation referred to "a recent stakeholder consultation". (I assume that means statutory consultees and other bodies.) You reported results and feedback from that had highlighted areas of concern from those stakeholders, and it seems to me that those very concerns are likely to be of special significance and weight. In relation only to the small group of roads that interest me, please could you tell me what are those special concerns? The roads are Chantlers Cl., Halsford Park Rd., Heathcote Dr., Linden Ave. & Manor Rd. I visit people in this area and I'm broadly aware of problems affecting other roads nearby, such as commuter parking - I am not a commuter, nor a 'school run parent' - but other than 'school parking' and the need for junction protection I'm not aware of other specific safety or access issues, such as might need restrictions in the above roads. I readily accept my visitor-limitations, of course, and so it would help inform my response to the public consultation if you could enlighten me as to what are believed to be the particular issues affecting these roads? With my continuing thanks for your assistance. Stuart Bannerman

Dear Mr Bannerman If you refer to the link below and scroll down to the agenda/minutes from the June 2012 meeting, you will see details of the previous parking scheme review that was carried out in East Grinstead. As part of this, you will note that County Councillors were informed that any changes introduced would be monitored and a further review carried out in order to deal with their impact and any potential issues caused by displacement etc. In approving proposals back in 2012, Councillors therefore lent their support to a further review taking place – what is taking place now is that review. The first public consultation on the latest review took place in August 2014 and attached is an update note I provided to County Councillors in March 2015. Following subsequent discussions, councillors lent their support to initial proposals being designed and subject to an informal consultation. The current proposals are designed to deal with the issues raised during the 2014 consultation as well as concerns raised directly with councillors and myself. A report on the current consultation will be made to county councillors later this year and a decision made on whether to proceed with a further consultation exercise. At this stage, no decisions have been made on whether anything will be introduced.

I've now read the Council's Guide to how WSCC introduce RPSs as well as the Q & A's you suggested. Several points stick in my mind which I'd like to consider by reference to source documents, so as the better to understand the context - where available. After that, perhaps I could put any remaining questions to you? I understand and support the need for road safety, and the need to maintain access for refuse vehicles. In the case of some roads it is hard to identify a need for DYLs, rather than SYLs for example. I'd really prefer to respond to the consultation in a way that addresses the Council's special concerns, and, whilst there are a number of affected roads that interest me, it will greatly help my contribution to that consultation by reference to the Council's particular policies and its own research that discusses these issues. To that end, please could you copy to me (or provide a link to) the local CLC's minutes of meeting where the decision was made to go out to public consultation on the East Grinstead proposed RPS, along with any reports the CLC considered at that meeting. Similarly any other public documents underpinning those reports and/or otherwise explaining the specific safety/congestion/parking issues sought to be addressed by this proposed RPS will much assist me. Thanks for your assistance in this. Stuart Bannerman

Dear Stuart Thank you for your e-mail. Firstly, I would refer you to the link below as it explains much more about our parking schemes in West Sussex and if you click on the common questions and answers, you will see information relating to loading/unloading etc. In short, these East Grinstead proposals are either trying to deal with identified safety/access issues via the potential introduction of yellow lines or they are trying to increase the amount of parking that is currently available for residents/visitors/shoppers.

Hope you can help with more info. about this East Grinstead scheme, please. The website link only gives maps of the affected roads but no text or links to other documents. I emailed Mott Macdonald last week but no response from them so far. I want to respond to the ongoing consultation (well before the 18 march cut-off date) but need a lot more detail of what is proposed, the underlying reason(s) and what is the relevant legislation. All I can see is that there is 'no waiting at any time', which I presume means never-ever 24/7. But what about loading/unloading? (What does "un-loading" mean - goods or people or both? If not 24/7 x 365 days, what times are restricted? What provisions for residents, their visitors and contractors?) These are just a few obvious questions but others will arise as I read up on it. If this issue has been debated by the Council, where can I see online the relevant Council minutes? I do hope you can help me with relevant documents and/or links? Thank you.

Dear Sirs, Following your recent communication & “Drop in” sessions, I would like to set out my concerns with regards the current proposals.  With the restrictions proposed for Heathcote Drive, drivers/commuters will use Meadowcroft Close instead (in fact, they already are, albeit just at the end of the road near the junction with Heathcote) If this becomes more widespread it will cause unacceptable congestion on what is a very narrow residential road. Furthermore because the driveways are all staggered and that people tend to park in front of verges this effectively causes a massive restriction on residents getting in / out of their drives. It becomes virtually impossible to do so either in one sweep or without driving over the verges (chewing up the grass & creating deep ruts in the verges)  Meadowcroft has a mainly older demographic & as such the need for ambulances to gain access is probably more critical than most. This combined with a narrow road with a chicane created by parked cars produces a very bad situation.  I would like to therefore encourage you to consider extending the parking restrictions into Meadowcroft.  However, residents shouldn’t be made to pay for the privilege of parking in their on road and on the basis you’re trying to discourage the commuters parking on the road which will in turn force them to use the parking provided at the station. This will increase the revenue of the private company who operates the station carpark therefore it follows that any cost to administer a parking permit system should be borne by  carpark operator & NOT the residents !! This proposal is effectively going to have a huge benefit to the operator & their business rates etc should be directed to pay for the permit system.  I look forward to your response.  Regards  Mr Clark 8 Meadowcroft Close East Grinstead

Dear Rachel, I am a resident of 74 Milton Crescent, Gardenwood Estate and having read the proposed parking restrictions being discussed for the estate I can envisage that if these proposals are implemented this will leave Milton Crescent and associated turnings as" The Free Parking, Station Car Park" and owing to the hills and blind bends on these roads, this will render them totally unsafe due to restricted vision whilst driving, this is unacceptable and most unfair to the residents of these roads! As there is currently Pay and display/Residents parking on Brooklands Way and minimal take up of these facilities, could it not be returned to a free parking road as it used to be, thus allowing commuters to park there as before? At the last questionnaire regarding Gardenwood parking I advocated to have a single yellow line & appropriate notices with no parking between 10 am &11am, Monday till Friday, as much of the estate already have, which seems to control the commuter parking problems. Why cant this be implemented as a solution to the parking problem on Milton Crescent and associated roads? I look forward to your reply. Best regards, Robert Smith-Halvorsen.

I am not certain how far the scheme has progressed but if you contact your Local Member Heidi Brunsdon and / or Miles Davy (CPZ Project Manager) it may be an opportunity to include this location, if not already included.

   Judging the photos and google view I have seen, there may be an opportunity to re-configure the layout to improve visibility to your access without compromising parking capacity either side. As I mentioned, I am not aware at what stage this scheme has reached, therefore sooner you are able to make contact, better the chance for this issue to be addressed.    I hope this answers your query. Regards Nick De Sousa Traffic Engineer – Mid Sussex Team Residents’ Services – Highways and Transport  West Sussex County Council   Location: Southern Area Office, Clapham Depot, Clapham Common, Clapham, West Sussex, BN13 3UR E-mail: highways@westsussex.gov.uk

Dear Miles it was lovely to meet with you the other week at East Court in East Grinstead to discuss the above , as I mentioned then with other neighbours of the street we are very happy to see the double yellow lines being proposed for the top of Hermitage Lane going towards ship street and conversely from the left of the Rise going down Herontye for a short distance . However , we feel this will have a knock on effect in our road as people already park here and walk up to town both in the week and at weekends, mornings and afternoons which because of is narrowness , The Rise cannot take. I note from your proposals that The Rise is due to get parking restrictions between 10 and 11 , we don't feel this will be adequate and would like to request double yellow lines on either side of the road up to the cul de sac. I understand from our conversation these may be implemented in October this year ,which cannot be soon enough . Thank you again for your time. regards Helen Godwin ( 14 The Rise)

Dear Miles Thank you for talking to us this evening. As we said we live at 6 Shelley Road, which is between Kipling Way and Keats Place and is the only part of Shelley Road currently without any yellow lines and looking at the proposals for this review there are no plans to put any in. There is a bend in the road and when we pull off of our drive and there are cars parked it is impossible to see if anything is coming until you are in the middle of the road, so we feel that there should definitely be a yellow line there as the road is dangerous. As the proposals show restricted parking in Gardenwood Road and our end of Kipling Way, it appears obvious that more people will try and park along the unrestricted part of Shelley Road. I have emailed Councillor Brunsdon, as you advised me to do. Yours sincerely Lorrayne Parrett

Dear Lorrayne

I really do sympathise with your concerns and am sorry that the problems continue. Unfortunately however, it simply is not possible for us to do anything about it now as there is nothing within our armoury that does not require to go through a legal process. I would certainly suggest that residents contact Sussex Police as they may be able to take action against vehicles that are causing a danger or obstruction.

I also seriously doubt if the current review would take 2-3 years. if the majority of residents support the same course of action, then hopefully things will be a lot more straight forward. This does remain a high priority for us but I hope you can appreciate that there is a legal process that we must follow.

Yours Sincerely

To be honest, it is virtually impossible to prevent this type of displacement taking place, as some people will always be prepared to find free parking. All we can do is react to this by means of the review outlined above. It was not 

4

possible to run yellow lines along this part of the road as part of the previous proposals as, quite simply, there was no parking problem. It would not be the best use of our resources to propose yellow lines in roads where there was no problem. We could try and pre empt where vehicles would go, but without knowing for certain whether they would be causing a problem, it would again be a questionable use of resources.

 

 We will of course continue to monitor the area.

 

Yours Sincerely

Miles Davy

From: Grant Goodall [mailto:grantgoodall@hotmail.co.uk] Sent: 16 February 2016 08:50 To: eastgrinsteadtro@mottmac.com Cc: CCD Parking; xxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx.uk Subject: East Grinstead_Parking Consultation_Heathcote Drive_16.02.16 Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing in regard to the proposed plans for Parking restrictions along Heathcote Drive, adjoining Meadowcroft Close, in East Grinstead.

I have no objections to increased DYL along Heathcote Drive and, if anything, would gladly see this continued along to the access road for Halsford Park School.

I do however have serious concerns about the impact of these new DYL on the small cul-de-sac, Meadowcroft Close. There is already a dangerous level of station/commuter parking and school/parent parking within the close which often causes utility services such as refuse collection to struggle to access the road. There have been occasions where NHS vehicles and ambulances have not been able to access the close properly. And there have also been incidents where parents with children have nearly been hit by commuter vehicles racing down the close to get parked in time to catch their trains.

Lastly there have been a series of burglaries and attempted burglaries within the close these last few years which have caused considerable distress to local residents. That local police have been able to do nothing positive is understandable as what exasperates the problem is that local residents are unable to quickly identify unusual vehicles properly given the sheer volume of third party traffic in the close.

Taking all of these reasons into account (Of which I have listed only what I and a number of other local residents deem to be the most serious) and given that the proposed plans will only serve to increase the amount of commuter/school traffic in this close by at least a factor of 3, I would strongly recommend that a residents parking permit scheme be implemented in Meadowcroft Close, alongside the proposed plans for the new DYL along Heathcote Drive.

Without this, I can guarantee that within a very short time frame there will be serious access issues for Council, Private and Emergency vehicles and, in the very worst case, a significantly greater danger of injury to pedestrians or, even loss of life.

I do hope that you will consider these comments with the warranted care and due diligence and I thank you in advance for doing so. I am more than happy to speak with anyone directly should they require any more information or detail in this matter.

Sincerely

Miles Good afternoon I recently contacted yourself in regards to the parking changes proposed for East Grinstead and especially those on Hurst Farm Road. Over the last week “Public Notices” have been displayed along Hurst Farm Road alerting residents to the proposed changes with the links to follow on the internet.  I have again reviewed the proposed changes and am concerned that my concerns have not been addressed and that the proposed changes remain as they were on my initial review.  I live at 40 Hurst Farm Road, and am delighted that changes are being planned, however I strongly believe that there needs to be an extension of the “Zone A” parking restrictions along the road, and that the proposal does not extend the zone far enough.  If the current proposal was to progress it would allow commuters to park on the stretch of Hurst Farm Road between Nightingale Close and Southlands.  This stretch of road is on a very dangerous bend, where many near misses and accidents have occurred over the years trying to avoid park vehicles. I request that the planned proposed parking restriction again be reviewed with the view to extend the restrictions to beyond the junction of Southlands and Harvest Hill.  The current proposal of stopping out side of 38 Hurst Farm Road will simply allow commuters to park on the bend and cause major disruption to traffic flow, and increase the risk of an accident as residents leave their driveways and school children cross the road on route to the Meads School.  I would like to invite yourself and the planning team to view my concerns before any final decision is taken.  I have attached Images of the stretch of road in question so that you can see the in advance the issued we are currently experiencing with commuters parking on the bend. In addition Hurst Farm Road is a bus route and the inconsiderate parking allows little room for a bus to pass.  This is a danger to residents and public alike.  Regards  Mike King

As a result of that survey, a number of proposals have now been prepared and so before a decision is made on whether to consult more widely with the public, I would welcome your initial views on the document attached. You will note that as part of these proposals, a number of existing School Keep Clear markings could potentialy be formalised, thereby enabling Mid Sussex District Council Officers to enforce them with the aim of improving safety/access outside schools. Any initial views that I receive will be reported to County Councillors at a meeting of the North Mid Sussex County Local Committee on the 13th January 2016. It is possible that County Councillors will also decide at that meeting whether to proceed with further consultation/design work. For further details regarding this meeting, and to keep informed of any future progress, please see the West Sussex County Council Website (search for County Local Committees, click on North Mid Sussex CLC and then click on the agenda/minutes section) or alternatively, please feel free to contact me directly. In the meantime, please could I ask that I receive any comments by Friday the 8th January 2016.

No decisions have yet been made and I can assure you that no changes will be made in any roads without further consultation. Depending on the views that I receive now, it is possible that further consultation on proposals could take place early next year. Yours Sincerely Miles Davy

From: Sarah Heron <slouiheron@hotmail.com>Sent: 29 February 2016 12:26To: Miles DavySubject: Proposed changes to Garland Road East Grinstead

Dear Mr Davy,

Proposed changes to Garland Road East Grinstead

Dear Miles,

I was very grateful for your time the other evening; it was useful to determine the motive of the

proposed changes to the road layout along Garland Road. You advised that the recommendation

to remove the existing resident parking bays stemmed from a Councillor, who perceives that the

existing layout proposes a safety issue to car movements/flows along the road. I therefore assume

that the County Council considers that in removing the existing parking zone it will enable the safe

and efficient movement of traffic. As a local resident who obviously witnesses the activity on a

daily basis I would like to note the following:

Pressure for on-street parking along Garland Road is not necessarily from people

wanting to park for free to use the station, or access the town, it is as a consequence of

the Local and County Authorities underestimating the demand related to recent

residential planning permissions and the lack of off-street parking that has been provided

by the developer as a result. The current timing restrictions, does not prevent some

existing residents from seeking to park regularly outside (beyond these restrictions)

without a parking permit, for example the greatest amount of on-street parking occurs

outside the restricted times, with the biggest demand being between the hours of 6pm-

7am during weekdays and all hours Saturday’s and Sundays. Therefore, the demand for

off-street parking created by residents of Garland Road is most likely underestimated, as

the number of permits will not reflect the amount of permanent residents parking regularly

along the road.

2

The existing available resident parking is already at capacity due to the pressures from

existing residents requiring on-street parking and this is likely to be exacerbated once

Garland Court is replaced by the sheltered scheme for two reasons:

1. The significant amount of illegal parking in the office block will be forced to park on the

road, and,

2. The existing planning application DM/15/1025 for the construction of 49 one and two units

will place strain on the parking provision as it only provides 18 spaces.

Garland Road is used as a ‘Rat Run’ for vehicles wishing to avoid London Road. Between the

hours of around 7am-9am & 5pm-6pm in particular, traffic movements are regular but not by any

means heavy. On-street parking during these periods is not as acute as it is during the hours of

6pm-7am as residents are carrying out their journeys to work. However, there is a degree of on-

street parking at all times, and due to this, the free flow of two way traffic movements is

restricted; consequently the current speeds of traffic are kept to a minim. Due to the limitation on

speeds I would assume that accidents are actually quite infrequent and therefore there isn’t

essentially a safety issue, it is also likely to discourage some divers from cutting through this now

predominately residential street. Drivers may find that they have to wait for passing traffic which

holds them up on their journey and therefore it is perceived that there is a highway problem but in

reality the existing parking provides a traffic speed measure, increasing road safety. All other

‘non-peak’ time traffic movements are observed to be low, as confirmed in the Mot MacDonald

report that accompanied the above planning application, therefore when the on-street parking is at

its highest the traffic movements are at there lowest.

Taking account of the above I am strongly opposed to the proposed changes to the restriction zones along

Garland Road. As a local resident who does pay for a parking permit and whose property fronts onto

Garland Road I would strongly urge the Council not to enforce such changes, unless the County Council can

demonstrate that there is a fundamental safety issue caused by the existing layout, evidenced by a safety

audit and accident data. Such changes are likely to only create additional parking pressures for existing

residents, especially on Saturday’s when residents are less likely to be working. For example, it seems

wholly unreasonable that currently a resident with a parking permit can park their vehicle in this location,

safely outside their property and leave it there all weekend, but with the proposed changes the resident will

be forced to move their vehicle by 10 am on the Saturday to a different location, most likely along either

Maypole Road or Grosvenor Road, in order to simply free up the highway land to improve traffic flows of

non-resident vehicles that will increase the speeds of traffic.

3

As a counter proposal I would however suggest that the best course of action should be focused on

increasing the available resident only parking permit zones, for example retain what exists and create any

additional bays where possible, in line with what is identified on the current drawing MMD-336576-C-DR-

00AA-0014 and increasing this parking restriction more in line with zone A. The remaining single lined

areas, can offer on-street parking at all other times to any vehicle outside the hours of 10-11 and 2-3. This is

the best course of action in a location where there is more demand than spaces as it ensures that those

parked are local paying residents only.

I do hope that you consider the above points before any firm decisions are enforced. If you have any queries

please do not hesitate to contact me either via email or my mobile, 07734865341.

Finally if I could ask you to provide me with the accident data and the safety audit that has been completed to support the Council’s proposed changes that would be much appreciated. I would be very grateful if you could acknowledge receipt of this email.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely

Sarah Heron

 First, can someone explain why the CLC can only expect a single TRO each year, and whether the 2016 allotment will be monopolised by the proposed East Grinstead parking restrictions.  Second, is there any chance at all of progress being made with the proposed replacement of East Grinstead’s Lingield Road/London Road mini roundabout by traffic lights. That junction is very frequently blocked by selfish drivers who pull onto the roundabout without caring that they cannot leave it, often causing tailbacks as far as the station when north‐bound traffic has to wait to run into the Lingfield Road.  Turning out of the Lingfield Road in either direction is even more often obstructed.  Third, I see that the proposed parking restrictions around Charlwoods Road East Grinstead are being amended to include its junction with the Lingfield Road.  Is any forecast available of when this scheme will be implemented? It seems a very long time since the first public consultation was made.  Fourth, Firbank Way East Grinstead is the subject of dispute between West Sussex and Sainsburys over its ownership.  Each says that the other owns it. The result is that the non‐compliant road humps along it remain improperly signposted, in one case clearly illegal by being angled across the road, and cause great discomfort to anyone like myself with a spinal injury.   I would very much like to know why no attempt has been made for both possible owners to get together and sort this out.  I would also very much like to know how West Sussex was able to authorise a TRO to impose parking restrictions on this road if it was privately owned.  Mr O’Brien has chosen to ignore my question posed directly to him in April asking this but perhaps the CLC can get an answer, because to an outsider the imposition of parking restrictions seems to have amounted to adoption of the road by West Sussex as public property.  Yours sincerely  John Prigent 28 Perry Avenue, East Grinstead, WestSussex, RH19 2DJ 01342 328729

Did you know that South Chichester, Chanctonbury, Central Mid Sussex, Joint Eastern Arun, North Horsham, Worthing and Adur, County Local Committees now have Facebook pages. From: Frank Berry [mailto:greenwichdomx@xxx.xxx ] Sent: 13 June 2016 00:18 To: Rachel Allan Subject: North Mid Sussex County Local Committee Meeting - Wednesday 15th. June 2016 Dear Rachel I have read the East Grinstead Controlled Parking Zone Decision Report attached to the agenda for the above meeting, and wish to make the following comments. I would also like some questions answered at the meeting, which are given below.

The report states that a total of 237 representations were made. However, these were only written representations, and exclude those made by individual members of the public at the 'drop - in' sessions held at East Court and the Library in February 2016. Accepting that some people emailed/wrote and also attended these sessions, there were additional individual representations made to Miles Davy and the Mott MacDonald representative: - no notes were taken to record these views. In addition, other members of the public present were in agreement with the views expressed.The number of representations made on this subject was, therefore, in excess of 237. It is accepted that taking verbal representations etc into account, this number would exceed 237. Unfortunately, at the drop in sessions it was not possible for officers to record all conversations in writing although there were comments books/pens made available. Wherever possible, the views of residents have been considered and reflected within the report.

In Appendix B, feedback from Sussex Police for Garden Wood Road and Bourg - De - Peage Avenue proposals was that they were concerned double yellow lines will increase traffic speed, and may require other speed management measures. However, in the Recommendations contained within the Report, it says that the Committee may also wish to consider approving this, rather than single yellow lines. If double yellow lines are laid on both sides of Garden Wood Road, even more vehicles will be displaced onto the Garden Wood Estate. In addition, the likely increase in traffic speed will result in additional costs being incurred by the Police, WSCC and Neighbourhood Speed Watch, to monitor traffic. Officers have merely alerted councillors to the fact that vehicles parked on this corner at other times could still be perceived to be causing a safety/access hazard and that double yellow lines could be a consideration, whilst also taking into account the views of Sussex Police etc.

In Appendix C, it says "It was also stated (anecdotally) that the parking bays in roads such as Brooklands Way were currently underutilised". These have been underutilised since the parking restrictions were implemented in September 2013. In order to back up this 'anecdotal' statement, I attach a few photographs as actual evidence. It is fair to say that Brooklands Way has not been utilised as much as initially envisaged but there are measures we hope to take to better manage this road space. For example, there are reports of growing residential demands in other parts of the CPZ (e.g. St James Road) and therefore officers have been discussing with MSDC and the local member the potential for moving some non-

3

resident permit holders into quieter roads such as Brooklands Way. This is standard practice in many CPZs and intends to make the best use of the road space.

The Recommendations state that ".....and subject to there being no objections after a formal advertisement, bring the Traffic Regulation Order into operation". Objections were made after the formal advertisements were made to extend the CPZ in 2013, but, nevertheless, the TRO was implemented. Therefore, how will be Committee act when objections are made (as there will be), to the latest parking restriction proposals? It is for the committee to decide whether the objections are resolvable or unresolvable. In this case, officers have put forward recommendations for the committee to consider and hopefully allow to make a reasoned decision.

This Report is concerned with the latest extension proposals of the CPZ. When the NMSCLC approved the previous extension in 2013, it was stated that the affects would be monitored and reviewed within 6 months. There has, therefore, been a considerable delay in conducting a Review, and, to date, I have seen no evidence that this has been done for all the roads within the CPZ. Is this contained within the East Grinstead Parking Restrictions Report produced by Mott MacDonald? These are not proposals to extend the CPZ. There are a number of proposals to make minor changes within the existing CPZ and then some proposals for yellow lines outside of the CPZ in order to improve access/safety. In 2013, an extension was made to Zone A and the hours of restriction were amended in Zone B. All residents in the Zone A extension and Zone B have therefore been directly consulted as have residents in the Garden Wood Estate. Residents in the existing Zone A have not been directly consulted. The original intention was to review the impact of the 2013 changes for a period of approximately 6 months and then consider further changes if appropriate. No mention was made of a review within 6 months. It has taken time for proposals to be formulated but this follows on from a great deal of discussion with councillors and stakeholders.

What methodology was used, and analysis produced by the Consultant to assess the parking in East Grinstead whilst conducting the Review? e.g. parking counts, time of day analysis (before, during and after parking restrictions), week days, weekends, photographic/video evidence etc.? See attached FYI

What did Mott MacDonald a) say and b) conclude about individual roads

1) where there were parking restrictions in place, either prior to, or after the additional parking restrictions were implemented in September 2013? See attached 2) parking in adjacent/other roads once the additional parking restrictions were introduced in September 2013? See attached Brooklands Way

What, specifically, did Mott MacDonald say about parking in Brooklands Way in the Report? Nothing specific

How many residents parking permits have been issued since the new parking restrictions were implemented in September 2013? This information will be available directly from MSDC Parking Services Dept but according to my records there are currently 14 permits in the whole of Brooklands Way.

4

How many visitor parking vouchers have been issued since the new parking restrictions were implemented in September 2013? As above

How many Penalty Charge Notices have been issued since the new parking restrictions were implemented in September 2013? As above

Garden Wood Road As above Same comments apply as above but my records indicate 5 permit holders currently in Garden Wood Road.

Where can members of the public view the full East Grinstead Parking Review Report previously produced by Mott MacDonald? (not the series of graphs and tables in the Update Paper shown at the 'drop - in ' sessions). Attached.

How much money was paid to Mott MacDonald to conduct the East Grinstead Parking Review? The tender sum is £25K, incorporating all aspects of the project from feasibility, surveys, consultations, design etc.

Dear Mr. Davey,  Thank you for your time at the drop‐in session last month and for your interest in our concerns.  To reiterate those concerns, we live at number 27 Blount Avenue, i.e. the station end.  As you know, it is a long road and at the moment, the further away from the station, the less of a parking issue there is.  However, those living at our end of the road already suffer significant commuter issues which increased dramatically following the restrictions imposed in Crossways Avenue some years back.  We have numerous regulars who arrive from 0530 and often leave late at night.  Double parking is also sometimes an issue with subsequent lorry arrivals struggling to get down the narrower parts of the road and in addition, we occasionally have airport parkers who leave their vehicles for several weeks at a time.  Of course if any of us have business or private visitors, they always have to park much further down the road.  Delivery and tradespeople working at our end of the road and needing ready access to their vehicles often have to resort to parking on the grass verges which churns them into an unsightly, muddy mess.  Blount Avenue is a “rat run” favoured by locals ‐ particularly parents and carers of children at Halsford Park and St Peter’s schools ‐ as well as driving schools; I have seen countless near misses on the bend very close to our house.   This is the position against the current backdrop but what concerns me is that the new proposals will effectively isolate Blount Avenue and therefore make our road even more of a target for those seeking free parking for the station and the town.  The increased SYL restrictions on Heathcote Drive (which I welcome by the way as the parking situation there is becoming ridiculous) and further down on Garden Wood Road (again which I welcome) will make Blount Avenue the “next nearest” place to park for the station and so‐called commuter blight is therefore inevitable for its residents, even those who currently do not have an issue.   Increased parking in Blount Avenue will prove to be a disproportionately greater hazard; rat‐runners just do not slow down but often race through here at around 50mph.  May I therefore please ask that Blount Avenue be included in the restrictions in order to prevent commuter blight but enable legitimate ad‐hoc parking?  I realise that there is a need for parking but I do not see that it is right for local residents to suffer because the station car park remains prohibitively expensive.  Perhaps the council could consider subsidising the carpark to ensure a full take up of the available spaces which would solve many of the issues.  A 1000 to 1100 hours ban on parking along Blount Avenue would be an ideal solution.  The free‐parkers and therefore this issue will not go away until a permanent solution is implemented and the question is how much time and money can WSCC afford to keep spending on revisiting the matter.   I am very grateful for your consideration of this request.  Many thanks,  Joanna Lee

From: xxx.xxxxxx@xxxxx.xx.xxSent: 12 March 2016 08:46To: Heidi Brunsdon; Miles Davy; John.OBrien@midsussex.gov.ukSubject: RPS consultation and traffic calming, Imberhorne

Dear Councillors As a resident of Imberhorne Lane, East Grinstead, I attended the residents parking scheme consultations (RPS) at East Court on Tuesday 23rd February, where I was able to talk to Miles Davey who I found very helpful at explaining the proposed plans. I raised my concerns that although I could see how in restricting parking on sections of Heathcote Drive and Garden wood road it would make it safer for pedestrians to cross the road, the adverse effect of this is that it would add to an already dangerous problem of vehicles speeding in the Imberhorne area. This is something Miles Davey told me Sussex police have already raised as a concern. The parked cars currently act as a pinch point chicane which does slow speeding vehicles down. The first point mentioned on the RPS is safety. There is already an ongoing serious safety issue which is getting worse, as you are all aware, with speeding vehicles in Imberhorne, particularly on Imberhorne Lane, Heathcote Drive and Garden wood Road. I would like to bring to your attention a newspaper article I have attached at the end regarding children’s views on the dangers they face and fear from speeding vehicles in this area. Nothing has been done by the council to address this issue since the article. I had a meeting with Councillor Richard Spellar at my house on 4th June 2015 to bring to his attention mine and other residents concerns of the dangerous speeding of vehicles in the area, the negative affects this has to the quality of life and possible traffic calming solutions. One of the things he mentioned was how it was ridiculous an unrestricted speed limit was ever put in place on Imberhorne Lane, between the section of the bridge over the worth way and Turners hill road. As West Sussex County Council Vision Zero States `Simply focusing actively on crash statistics or other highway problems means the system is inherently re-active rather than pro-active. Therefore along with the RPS, traffic calming measures must be introduced on Imberhorne Lane, Heathcote Drive and Gardenwood Road. Suggestions for traffic calming are, 1, The signs at the bottom of Heathcote Drive with the words `Imberhorne Area, Please drive carefully` and Imberhorne residents, Thank you for driving carefully` be moved to both ends of Imberhorne Lane by the junction with London Road and the Junction with Turners Hill Road. It is ironic they are Imberhorne signs but are not on Imberhorne Lane of all places. Vehicles seem to pass these signs turning onto Imberhorne Lane and accelerate to above the 30mph speed limit as if they are no longer in a 30mph speed limit.

2

2, Strategically placed pinch point chicanes along the length of Imberhorne lane between the bridge over the worth way and the junction with London Road Chicanes are needed on Heathcote Drive and Gardenwood Road also, although these two roads have road humps they do absolutely nothing to slow speeding vehicles as the wheel base of the average car can easily straddle these humps. 3, Reduce the speed limit to 20mph in residential roads including Imberhorne Lane. Reduce the speed limit of the currently unrestricted speed section of Imberhorne Lane.

Dear Mr Davy  It has come to my attention, that it is proposed that parking outside Halsford Park School in East Grinstead (specifically on Manor Rd) is being opposed  My understanding is that this is proposed to be address with banning parking completely in this location  I am strongly opposed to this as a solution to calming and safety to our children  As a parent of students in this school, and not living in East Grinstead, I have no option but to drive to, and park outside the school, when dropping and collecting my children  A solution which is felt to me much safer and to effect calmer traffic would be 'sleeping policemen' which will discourage speeding on this road  Yellow lines/ stopping parking in the road will simply push the problem elsewhere in to the surprising areas and make parking at these times further more dangerous  I should be grateful for your comments  Sally Hunter  Sent from my iPhone6s

Hi Miles, Thanks for your prompt reply. It's good to hear it's not a done deal yet... In terms of parking a little way away and walking in to school, have the council really considered the feasibility of this? It's my experience that all the parking that is slightly further away is taken up by commuters who are already in place by the time parents are taking kids to school.

Thank you for your e-mails. Please refer to the link below as this details the report (and proposals) that is being considered at a meeting tonight. I can assure you that no decisions have been made as yet and evenif approval is given tonight, there will still be further opportunity for you to comment as another round of consultation would still be required later this summer. In short, the proposals in Manor Road etc and designed to restrict dangerous/obstructive parking at key areas (i.e. outside the school and at junctions) rather than prevent it wholesale. These proposals were designed following liaison with our Safe Routes to School Team (team manager copied in) and are actually in the best interests of the school in our view. They form part of a wider desire to try and keep vehicles away from the school gates and for parents to potentially consider alternative methods of getting to/from school – this also includes parking slightly further away and walking in a short distance. I am sure the team manager will be able to expand upon this if need be as well as comment on your suggestions for speed prevention and crossing measures etc. In short, I can assure you that it is not our intention to prevent parents from parking but rather try to manage where/how they park so that safety/access is improved and perhaps more sustainable travel methods considered. Yours Sincerely Miles Davy

From: Frank Berry [mailto:greenwichdome@sky.com] Sent: 13 June 2016 00:18 To: Rachel Allan Subject: North Mid Sussex County Local Committee Meeting - Wednesday 15th. June 2016 Dear Rachel I have read the East Grinstead Controlled Parking Zone Decision Report attached to the agenda for the above meeting, and wish to make the following comments. I would also like some questions answered at the meeting, which are given below.

The report states that a total of 237 representations were made. However, these were only written representations, and exclude those made by individual members of the public at the 'drop - in' sessions held at East Court and the Library in February 2016. Accepting that some people emailed/wrote and also attended these sessions, there were additional individual representations made to Miles Davy and the Mott MacDonald representative: - no notes were taken to record these views. In addition, other members of the public present were in agreement with the views expressed.The number of representations made on this subject was, therefore, in excess of 237.

In Appendix B, feedback from Sussex Police for Garden Wood Road and Bourg - De - Peage Avenue proposals was that they were concerned double yellow lines will increase traffic speed, and may require other speed management measures. However, in the Recommendations contained within the Report, it says that the Committee may also wish to consider approving this, rather than single yellow lines. If double yellow lines are laid on both sides of Garden Wood Road, even more vehicles will be displaced onto the Garden Wood Estate. In addition, the likely increase in traffic speed will result in additional costs being incurred by the Police, WSCC and Neighbourhood Speed Watch, to monitor traffic.

2

In Appendix C, it says "It was also stated (anecdotally) that the parking bays in roads such as Brooklands Way were currently underutilised". These have been underutilised since the parking restrictions were implemented in September 2013. In order to back up this 'anecdotal' statement, I attach a few photographs as actual evidence.

The Recommendations state that ".....and subject to there being no objections after a formal advertisement, bring the Traffic Regulation Order into operation". Objections were made after the formal advertisements were made to extend the CPZ in 2013, but, nevertheless, the TRO was implemented. Therefore, how will be Committee act when objections are made (as there will be), to the latest parking restriction proposals?

This Report is concerned with the latest extension proposals of the CPZ. When the NMSCLC approved the previous extension in 2013, it was stated that the affects would be monitored and reviewed within 6 months. There has, therefore, been a considerable delay in conducting a Review, and, to date, I have seen no evidence that this has been done for all the roads within the CPZ. Is this contained within the East Grinstead Parking Restrictions Report produced by Mott MacDonald?

What methodology was used, and analysis produced by the Consultant to assess the parking in East Grinstead whilst conducting the Review? e.g. parking counts, time of day analysis (before, during and after parking restrictions), week days, weekends, photographic/video evidence etc.?

What did Mott MacDonald a) say and b) conclude about individual roads

1) where there were parking restrictions in place, either prior to, or after the additional parking restrictions were implemented in September 2013? 2) parking in adjacent/other roads once the additional parking restrictions were introduced in September 2013? Brooklands Way

What, specifically, did Mott MacDonald say about parking in Brooklands Way in the Report?

How many residents parking permits have been issued since the new parking restrictions were implemented in September 2013?

3

How many visitor parking vouchers have been issued since the new parking restrictions were implemented in September 2013?

How many Penalty Charge Notices have been issued since the new parking restrictions were implemented in September 2013?

Garden Wood Road As above

Where can members of the public view the full East Grinstead Parking Review Report previously produced by Mott MacDonald? (not the series of graphs and tables in the Update Paper shown at the 'drop - in ' sessions).

How much money was paid to Mott MacDonald to conduct the East Grinstead Parking Review?

Thank you Regards Frank Berry

Dear Councillors I am aware that there is an agenda item for the above meeting to discuss the East Grinstead Controlled Parking Zone, with the Committee being asked to authorise a formal advertisement to extend the scheme. I have read the East Grinstead Parking Review Decision Report, and have submitted a number of comments and questions to Rachel Allan. The decision to ban commuter parking at Brooklands Way has never been adequately explained, although myself and others have requested this on several occasions. I, therefore, attach a copy of my last response to the Public Consultation, so that you are aware of the issues regarding the current parking restrictions, before discussing a further extension on Wednesday. I attach some photographs highlighting the lack of vehicles parked in Brooklands Way; these are not isolated occurrences, but the norm since the parking restrictions were introduced in September 2013. Thank you

From: Shelley Bergset <shelley@group8.com>Sent: 15 June 2016 14:19To: Miles DavySubject: Halsford Park parking problems

Dear Mr Miles Davy,  I am a parent of 2 (nearly 3!) children at Halsford Park Primary School.  I don’t live within reasonable walking distance of the school and I therefore drive my older 2 children to school and then continue to drop my youngest at a nursery in Felcourt.  I am a very considerate parker around the Halsford Park school area but I do understand that there are a very small minority of parents that park across corners, on grass verges, across drives, or do a ‘drop and go’ on the zig zag lines right outside the school entrance.  These offenders are a very small minority of parents who will probably continue to do this regardless of any yellow lines or other restrictions, if they can’t find a legal parking option.  I’m sure this mail is one of many that you have received and will continue to receive.  I apologise that you are probably being bombarded with these mails but I feel strongly that my points of safety are heard.  My main issue is the safety of the children.    Just over a year ago my youngest son and I were nearly taken out by a car speeding down Linden Avenue and then crashing through a wall and in to a house on Manor Road, opposite Linden Avenue.  We were walking past that exact point of the wall about 3 seconds before the car hit it.  Since this incident, I have been very aware of the speed of the cars passing the school and the way in which some parents park.  I understand that this is a very isolated incident but my point is that it has made me very aware of the parking/driving/speeding in and around the school roads.  I believe that there is a proposal to put double yellow lines along Manor Road (and possibly Linden Ave and Halsford Park Rd) to solve the illegal parking problems and bring peace and harmony to the residents of this road.  I also understand that the number of residents that are in favour of this are a minority in the road (same as the illegal parking offenders).  So, in both cases, we are dealing with the minority.  I fully understand the frustrations of these residents and whilst I do sympathise with them, they also need to realise that the school was there when they bought their house, so parking between 8 and 9am and 2:30‐3:30pm Monday to Friday is always going to be busy (but shouldn’t be illegal!).  The problem that I have with the double yellow lines is not so much that there is nowhere to park but that it gives the drivers more room to speed down Manor Road (or Linden Avenue or Halsford Park Road).  I have seen many motorists (not parents, often taxis), using Manor Road as a through road to get to Imberhorne Lane and then re‐join the A22 at the traffic lights.   The problems that I see in the mornings are the following:  1.)  Commuter parking around the station area, which is extending as far as Halsford Park and has been affecting St Peters Primary and the residents of Blount Ave, Crossways Ave, Halsford Park Road and now even Heathcote Drive  (which has become very dangerous!).  2.)  Parents parking illegally on corners, grass verges, across drives and doing a ‘drop and go’ on the zig zags right outside the school because they can’t find a legal parking space close enough or safe enough for their little darling.  3.)  Residents getting annoyed as their verges are ruined and they’re parked in for 20 mins or more.  

2

4.) Respectful parents getting annoyed as they have to drive around and around a congested area until a legal parking space becomes available and this results in their child arriving late for school.  I know it’s very easy to present problems, so I come with my proposed solutions to these 4 points:  1.)  Solve the commuter parking problem by putting parking restrictions (Mon‐Fri 10‐11am) on all roads surrounding the station and as far as Imberhorne Lane and decreasing the parking tariff at the station.  The top level of the station car park is never full.  This will free up all the surrounding roads and make more spaces available for parents to park legally (and slow down traffic past the school as a result).  The station car park won’t lose money if it is FULL on a lower tariff.  These parking restrictions are already in place in one part of Blount Avenue and I think it really works.  Some Halsford Park parents park on the single yellow outside of these times and then walk from there to pick up their children.  2.)  Put a lollipop person in front of the school entrance so that parents can drop older children in Linden Avenue or Halsford Park Road and allow them to walk on their own and cross Manor Road safely (with the lollipop person) and enter the school gates.  The school will need to encourage this.  This way, those parents will be doing a legal ‘drop and go’ and know that their child/ren will be safe.  I have 2 older children (Year 3 and 4) and I would be more than happy for them to do this.  The reason why I don’t currently do this is because it is not safe for them to cross Manor Road unaccompanied due to illegal ‘drop and goers’.  This will also free up more parking spaces as these parents will only be ‘parking’ for about 2 mins (legally!).  3.)  Residents will be happier as there will be less illegal parking as there will be more legal parking spaces available for the minority offenders who park illegally due to lack of parking.  Nobody parks illegally when there is a legal option right next to them.  Maybe put double yellows on the corners of roads and demarcate the available parking options (this has been done in Maypole Road already).  This works well for the slightly more 'parking challenged' who have forgotten the rules :‐/  4.)  Parents will be less annoyed and some (like myself) rather pleased that we don’t have to find a parking space and get out of the car to cross our children safely because there is a safe option in place.  On average my car is parked for 25mins due to having to cross my children safely and walk them in to school myself.  I’ll be freeing up a space for someone else with small children who still needs to walk them to their classroom door for 23mins!  So there are the 4 obvious problems that I see on a daily basis and there are my 4 proposed solutions.  I know it’s easy to make it sound easy but I see this problem at every single school drop off and pick up.  I’m also a stay‐at‐home mum, so I’ve had plenty of time to think about this! :)  Lastly, please don’t put down the double yellow lines.  This is unsafe and unnecessary.  I don’t want to witness a child being hit by a motorist on a rat‐run.  It will literally be an accident waiting to happen.  I’m sure anyone would rather deal with an annoyed resident than a bereaved parent of a Halsford Park pupil.  There are other ways and means of making this situation easier, safer and happier for everyone.  Yours sincerely,  Shelley Bergset

From: Miche Tetley <xxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxx.xxx>Sent: 15 June 2016 10:39To: Miles DavySubject: Changes to parking restrictions around Halsford Park School

Hi, I understand that the council are intending to put double yellow lines down both sides of the roads in the roads around Halsford Park school and I am writing to lodge my concerns about these plans. I wrote to the Council last October after my son was knocked down outside the school to ask that the area in front of the school gates be parking-controlled in order to improve visibility and that some kind of safe crossing place be created - pedestrian crossing, zebra crossing or a lollipop person. I appreciate very much that there are issues that need to be addressed. However, I am very worried that if both sides are completely double-yellowed that this will create a clear road that cars cutting through can then speed up on. Some people drive very carefully past the school but there are many who do not. My son was lucky that the car that hit him was going relatively slowly. I can see a situation where a child could be killed by someone driving at speed. Also, I don't understand what the council thinks parents are going to do when they have to drop their children off at school, if there is nowhere to park. It's fine and well to suggest that people walk their children to school, but that's not possible for parents who live far away. And there are also those of us who work at a distance from the school and so have to drive, drop the kids at school and then go on to work. If this parking scheme goes ahead, it's possible I will be unable to continue the work I do because I'll no longer be able to get to Brighton on time to see my clients and then back again to pick up my son. Many of us parents understand that there need to be some changes to the parking arrangements, not least of which is that people do park dangerously on corners, and also outside the school gates. It seems to me that it would be much more sensible to double yellow the corners and places where people have done damage to the grass verges, but leave the straighter bits of road as parking spaces. Our public spaces belong to all of us and need to be usable for us all. I appreciate the concerns of residents AND those of us that use the school also have a right to use the local amenities to make our lives possible. Making the roads around the school 'no-go' areas for parking, will create huge problems for the school community. I also know that many residents are concerned because that means they have no parking outside their houses for visitors. I appreciate that in this mix there are concerns about commuter parking. Could the council consider some kind of timed scheme, where it's ok to park for some of the day but not all of it? This is employed in areas around Brighton. For example, saying no parking between 1pm and

2

2pm? It would stop people from dumping their cars for a whole day and using the station. So, in my opinion, a more reasonable solution would be to put in some kind of crossing or traffic calming in front of the school gates to minimise the chances of people speeding past the school gates, to double yellow the corners where people park dangerously, and perhaps to look for more creative solutions to deal with commuter parking, that don't disadvantage residents or school users. There are some thoughts amongst the community that the council has already decided to implement these plans. I hope that isn't true and that you will take into consideration the concerns of parents at the school.

From: Ray Burleigh [mailto:ray@burleighmansions.fsnet.co.uk] Sent: 14 June 2016 15:10 To: Rachel Allan Cc: 'Frank Berry' Subject: North Mid Sussex County Local Committee Meeting Wednesday 15th June 2016 Dear Rachel BROOKSLANDS WAY, EAST GRINSTEAD I understand that you have recently received an e mail communication from my neighbour - Frank Berry, of 58 Hurst Farm Road, East Grinstead - in regard to tomorrow's committee meeting. This e mail is just to confirm that I fully endorse all Frank's comments to you. In particular I wish to underline that Frank is totally correct in his reference to Appendix C - the under utilization of parking bays in Brooklands Way, East Grinstead. Miles Davy has apparently referred to "anecdotal information" about Brooklands Way. Miles Davy is quite wrong. It is a fact that following the quite unnecessary imposition of the parking restrictions at the lower end of Brooklands Way these much needed parking spaces (so close to the railway station) have remained unused. I believe Frank has provided you with photographic evidence. Not only is Miles Davy continually unwilling to admit his mistake in regard to Brooklands way - he does not even seem to have ever bothered to conduct a proper review of the road as he was supposed to have done. Yours sincerely Raymond P Burleigh 66 Hurst Farm Road East Grinstead RH19 4DH

Dear Mr. Davey, In the last few months there has been increased daily parking in Heathcote Drive, presumeably instead of using the station car park. I do not live there but I drive to work that way. With the extra traffic at school times he road is much more obstructed and dangerous. For the residents it mst be increasingly difficult when they or their visitors become unable to park outside their own houses. I live in Bluebell Close which is a cul-de-sac but still can have problems with people parking to use the Worth Way and a rented house that has at most times 6 vehicles including 4 commercial vans. No doubt other residents in East Grinstead will inform you of their particular problems. Philip Gilbert

Dear Miles, I will also forward a second email from Mr Capp, received last night. I think that I will have to take a firm line with this and other requests for discussion and explanation at this evening's meeting and commit to sending written replies after the meeting. The agenda is quite clear: to authorise progress to the formal advertisement stage. I think that there has been more opportunity to comment and question on this scheme than any other I have ever been aware of and we need to draw a line in the knowledge that we will never accommodate everyone's preferences.

As a result of that survey, a number of proposals have now been prepared and so before a decision is made on whether to consult more widely with the public, I would welcome your initial views on the document attached. You will note that as part of these proposals, a number of existing School Keep Clear markings could potentialy be formalised, thereby enabling Mid Sussex District Council Officers to enforce them with the aim of improving safety/access outside schools. Any initial views that I receive will be reported to County Councillors at a meeting of the North Mid Sussex County Local Committee on the 13th January 2016. It is possible that County Councillors will also decide at that meeting whether to proceed with further consultation/design work. For further details regarding this meeting, and to keep informed of

any future progress, please see the West Sussex County Council Website (search for County Local Committees, click on North Mid Sussex CLC and then click on the agenda/minutes section) or alternatively, please feel free to contact me directly. In the meantime, please could I ask that I receive any comments by Friday the 8th January 2016. No decisions have yet been made and I can assure you that no changes will be made in any roads without further consultation. Depending on the views that I receive now, it is possible that further consultation on proposals could take place early next year. Yours Sincerely Miles Davy
