Fifty two new parking projects
Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council considers requests for new or changed waiting restriction in phases, which can contain up to 100 different projects across the norough. Most changes are about installing new lines to prevent parking at junctions, on the footway, or in other locations where the vehicle then becomes an obstruction.
On March 11, the council was asked to approve 52 sites borough wide for further investigation in phase 11, including the following sites in Larkfield, East Malling and West Malling.
Larkfield. In Brooklands Road and Maple Close, residents requested an extension of double yellow lines to prevent obstructive parking. In Laburnum Drive/Hornbeam Close/The Ferns, Cllr Anita Oakley requested new double yellow lines to prevent parking at junctions and on the footway. In The Lakes, a resident requested new double yellow lines to deal with pavement parking issues, and in Mar- lowe Road to removed parked cars which might obstruct emergency vehicles. In Papyrus Way and Chaucer Way, Cllr Parry Waller has suggested overnight parking should be
allowed. Officers have suggested this might attract refriger- ated vehicles, and overnight anti-social behaviour and, in Papyrus Way, spaces could not be restricted to residents of Leybourne Park.
Ditton. In Fernleigh Rise, considering new double yellow lines to prevent obstructive parking will be combined with a proposal for a Residents’ Parking Scheme. A20 London Road opposite the Kia garage, Cllr David Thornewell has requested parking restrictions to prevent all day parking by vans.
East Malling. In Bondfield Road, a proposal for double yellow lines to prevent obstructive parking had been requested by a resident. Cllr Roger Roud had requested new double yellow lines to deter parking around the junctions in Temple Way and Meridian Place due to large vans making visibility difficult.
West Malling. In Old Parsonage Court, Water Lane, new park- ing restrictions to deter all day parking by non-residents, had been requested by Trudy Dean.
