I’m a member of Auriol Kensington Rowing Club and live in Ealing. It takes 20 minutes by car or bike but double that by public transport. Sometimes I have to deliver equipment to the club which requires a car especially for events like Hammersmith Regatta and Hammersmith Head which bring many visitors to the area. For these I need all day parking from 7:00 am to 7:00pm as a volunteer making these events happen.

New parking restrictions will just hinder the normal functioning of many rowing clubs, which are a key element of the local community in Hammersmith

I have been a member of Auriol Kensington Rowing Club since the 1960's and as well as rowing am involved in the organisation and administration on several local rowing events. I have never experienced any problem with parking in the area and these new restrictions will seriously limit, and in many cases will prevent, the continued ability to enjoy rowing and the organisation and running of local rowing events.

It is vital to allow parking for the local rowing clubs, businesses and the community. There are plenty of free spaces for residents and visitors during the day to park.

Strongly object! It is home to many Rowers! The better thing would be to protect the residents by doing something about thieves cos there are so many car thefts taking place.

These changes have not been clearly communicated to the local businesses and clubs and show unnecessary changes in not only the restricted hours, but also days of the week, and maximum stay.
This causes numerous problems for AKRC, a club which provides a facility for members and visitors across London and beyond. The community of Lower Mall would be worse off without the activity of the rowing clubs, and the members that use the parking do not pose an unmanageable demand on the neighbouring streets.

Rower and coach at AKRC and make a 50 mile round trip from St Albans to do so. This draconian proposal will significantly limit my ability to keep doing so.

I have to be in Lower Mall one evening a week for more than 2 hours until around 11pm. I drive for the simple reason that being over 70 I feel unsafe walking home either along the river using the underpasses or having to walk under the flyover. Please let me keep safe and leave parking restrictions as at present.

AKRC provide a good service to the community and it's members - AKRC enables young people within the borough to come and enjoy a sport that helps them keep fit as well as assisting them to become good citizens. Additionally the local pubs will probably see a reduction in their incomes which will not please them. As a cox I would have need to bring a lot of kit with me and travelling to the Club frommoutside the Borough would be very difficult on weekends if not impossible so travelling by car is essential for me

I am a veteran member of Auriol Kensington Rowing Club and go afloat on the river 2-3 times a week, with others. It normally takes 2.5-3 hours per session which these proposed parking arrangements would make impossible. You would be banning senior citizens from maintaining their fitness !

Placing 2 hour weekend parking restrictions on the Lower Mall area would decimate the rowing clubs on the Hammersmith riverside. The sport can take 2-5 hours per session and pubs that survive from the social aspect of the clubs would also be badly hit. I grew up rowing at AKRC in Hammersmith, and it is a huge part of the community there. Many drive in from far off to take part in this tradition - these restrictions genuinely risk it’s future.

I live in CR5 3LT and have to attend AKRC by car. I have been rowing in Hammersmith since 1967. This proposal will prevent me from rowing at AKRC. Pease drop the proposal.

These new restrictions say that the riverside is effectively closed to anyone visiting from outside the area. A poor message to send out in terms of promoting Hammersmith as an area to visit for businesses, social/sports clubs or those wanting to enjoy our beautiful riverside.

I would like to strongly object to the Council introducing new parking rules as i feel it could have a detrimental effect on the Auriol Kensington Rowing Club both to our Members and visitors.

I can understand extending parking restrictions at times where the streets around Lower Mall are busy (weekday late evenings and Sunday afternoons during Summer), but to apply it at times when it is not busy - but when the rowing clubs are at their busiest - this is just discriminating against and taxing the sport of rowing at a time when we are trying to actively increase participation in sport.

Have been a member of Auriol Kensington Rowing Club since moving to Hammersmith in 1999. I now live out of the town and rely on the parking to visit the club and pubs.
