As a resident of Turner Court I have become increasingly frustrated with the lack of parking available on Randalls Way for residents of Highbury Drive.
The extension of the double yellow lines on Randalls Way means there is even less road parking available for those with 2 cars in a household or for visitors.
I like many others have voiced concerns on this to the council and GCS Property Management but it has not changed matters.
I think it is unreasonable to continue to not only enforce but also extend these restrictions without providing local residents with a means to park on the road which is so heavily relied on.
Please sign the petition below to show your support for the provision of resident parking permits on Randalls Way.
Thanks for your support!

I have been hearing from so many of you who are tired of circling the block just to find a place to put your car after work. I am currently compiling all of your stories to present to the council so they finally understand the reality of our daily struggle.
April 21, 2015
Seeing this kind of momentum feels like a weight lifting off my shoulders because I know how much trouble these parking restrictions have been for my neighbors. It is heartening to realize that so many people in Turner Court feel the same frustration I deal with every single evening.

I fully support this petition. We also have two cars & have found over the last 7 years parking has become more & more restricted. I also contacted the council & was advised that Randalls Way is a private road and Surrey County Council had no jurisdiction over it. No one could tell me why the double lines were extended either, if they just got rid of the double lines then would resolve the problem, don't understand the need for them as it's not restricting access.
Frustrated to say the least!! No consultation was held to establish the impact of the Double Yellow Lines. It's embarrassing when your Guests keep getting £60.00 Parking Fines when they visit. No control over the many many commuters that take up the meagre parking available, sometimes for a week at a time. Who ever approved the painting of the Double Yellow Lines in the first instance, clearly had not done their homework!!
And for the record, I have no idea why it's shown my address as Chiddingfold?
Hi all, I am one of two directors for Highbury drive and I don't recall this issue being raised at residents meetings before. For those people who are visitors I agree local parking is not good but the estate could not cater for an unknown number of guests in the building plans. For those people with two cars, well done for affording that, but again, the estate cannot cater for parking for over two hundred car parking spaces in case people can afford two cars. The initial problem of 'other' people (commuters etc) parking in Highbury drive and blocking the road (causing access problems for emergency vehicles) was solved with the no parking policy in the estate road, the problem of people parking on the corner of Randalls road and Randalls way restricting the entrance and causing a a serious hazard was also solved by concrete bollards. All of this costs money which comes out of the maintenance fees. Although I would love to see more spaces (apart from using local car parks) I don't see an easy solution. If a residents permit system was set up, who would run it, monitor it and enforce it? Any costs would need to be borne by the estate and added to annual maintence, but again, if I have one car would I have to contribute to the running of the scheme? If there are 40 people who have two cars are they prepared to fund the whole scheme? There are numerous questions and if enough residents feel strongly about this matter then GCS will chair a meeting in the Police Federation to come to some agreement on what to do.

This has become a big problem within our household
I agree it has become a massive pain and I'm often forced to park 5 mins walk away which has on one occasion prompted someone on that street to tape notes to my car saying this is not an overspil car park for highbury drive.

It is very difficult for residents and visitors to park any where near their home. I hope you will take in to consideration the what a struggle it is for new mums with baby's and elderly people to have to park a long walk away from their home.
