Dear Cllr Steven Speak, Cabinet Member for Highways and Streetscene
We the undersigned request that the Council implement a Community Parking Zone in our street: Arlington Road, TW11.
Other roads, namely, Teddington Park Road, Teddington Park, Linden Grove, Claremont Road and Cambridge Road are all lobbying in the same way to gain signatures in support of what we hope will become an area CPZ.
Yours,
Resident of Arlington Road

The powers that be have permitted shops to expand, council offices to open and new homes to be created, plus the expansion of St Marys college....... And this has created havoc for us. With 2 small children I am often found walking 3-4 roads to get home. The council then has the cheek to refuse our claim for a CPZ on the basis that we would be displacing cars. Us??!!!!!! It's your developments!!!!! Help us now to resolve the issues
The CPZ is urgently needed in our road. Due to CPZ's in numerous other parts of Teddington Arlington Road has become the default parking area for office workers, commuters and in particular students. All residents of Teddington accept that parking is at a premium but it is not unreasonable to be able to park in the road in which you live. Vehicles are regularly damaged due to the congestion in the road and drivers turning and reversing due to the lack of parking. There are often young children playing in what should be a quiet street, their safety is being compromised particularly with the speed of some non resident drivers in the road. This issue is becoming critical and as such a CPZ must be considered a priority.
With all the students and local trades people parking in our road the situation for parking has got so very bad. I find it very difficult to get parked in our road during the week and as a mum with a young baby this is most inconvenient to have to park in another road some distance from our home.
Arlington Road needs a controlled parking zone, please accept this as my confirmation that I am 100% behind this. Due to the amount of non residents parking on the road from St Marys college. Also the recently built new offices and new residential buildings on Waldegrave Road being built without any parking has pushed them to Arlington Road. I have a small baby and toddler and cannot park on my road, I have to carry my children from other roads to my house because non residents are parking on my road. We must have controlled parking. Thanks. Steve ( Number 31).
PLEASE take note of all the information we've given on numerous occasions to back up our urgent need for a Community Parking Zone. Life is hell for the residents - particularly those with young children and the elderly. And there are safety issues with emergency vehicles and access. This in addition to damage to residents vehicles in the over-crowded no-through road. It's often impossible to park in our road at any time of day as we are the parking lot for the university, local workers, building site workers and their vans. Students often leave their cars in the street for several weeks.
We are considering moving into a near by road and are seriously concerned with the lack of parking for residents.
We support the cause.

The council needs to take a strategic approach to parking in this area of teddington. Expansion of the university, construction of new houses and office blocks shouldn't be done in isolation of the associated impacts which include parking.
