The exhibition will be just inside thechurch building. At both locations officers will beavailable if you want to ask them about thescheme or discuss the proposals.

We need your views so that we can make theright decision.

We want to make sure that everyone who may beaffected by these proposals knows what ishappening and has the opportunity to let us knowwhat they think.

What is this about?

We are looking at changes in parking provisionparticularly on and around Pinner Road betweenHarrow and North Harrow possible including acontrolled parking zone (CPZ) in the county roadsclosest to the central Harrow CPZ. Although themain parking consultation is about changes northof Pinner Road and east of Pinner View, we arelooking to address parking issues across most ofthe Headstone South ward.

People tell us that parking right up to the junctionscauses visibility problems and can obstruct refuseand emergency service vehicles. We are proposingdouble yellow lines close to the junctions to helpthis. We are also looking at the parking restrictionson the main roads, particularly Pinner Road eastof Station Road. We want to know your views onproposed restrictions.

The general issues covered by this consultationinclude:

• We need to review of parking restrictions onPinner Road. We have new responsibilities toaddress congestion on the borough’s busiestroads. There are also problems near some ofthe main junctions such as Station Road.

• A large proportion of accidents take place at ornear junctions on the main roads. Parking nearthese junctions can make visibility difficult andincrease the risk of accidents. We propose doubleyellow lines to keep parking away from junctions.

• We also propose double yellow lines at roadjunctions within the CPZ, and in areas whereparking causes problems for visibility and refuseor emergency vehicle access. A plan showingthe proposed double yellow lines is included.

We will advertise the revised scheme by placingnotices on street and in the local paper (HarrowTimes) and explain where the plans can be seen.This will give people the chance to comment onthe scheme or object if they wish. We considerthese before making a final decision on whatscheme, if any, we should put in.

We probably will not look at starting work in yourarea before autumn 2009 due to the requiredfunding and legal procedures.
