Event Day Parking.


Today I attended a meeting at the Rugby ground regarding illegal parking of taxis, limousines and coaches in summerwood road on Rugby days.
Also present was Nigel Cox from the RFU, Cllr Paul Fisher, Chris Smith - Richmond highways and transport, Fiona King of Hounslow Homes, Tina Howe ex URA chair and Simon Earle from Hounslow Police.
Thanks to negotiations on behalf of the URA and Ivybridge residents, Cllr Fisher was able to put into place an experimental scheme which involves restricting entry for vehicles to Summerwood road from both of its junctions with Mogden Lane unless gaining access to premises in Summerwood Road. Both entries will be manned by snt officers during Rugby events in November. The scheme would operate between 10am and 5.30pm and only residents with permits and genuine visitors would be able to gain entry.
This should mean no need for parking wardens on the estate to ticket residents.
I will let residents know more, nearer the time of the first match.
Depending on the experimental schemes success this may be put into place on a more permanent basis. Look out for posters and flyers for more info.

This Traffic Order was an excellent example of what can be achieved by various agencies working together and I would like to pay special tribute to Tony and Tina from the Residents Assaociation and Fiona King from Hounslow Homes.
