Overview

Buckinghamshire Highways are proposing to implement a number of parking restrictions on several roads in Stoke Mandeville. The Parish Council has raised concerns relating to inconsiderate parking on various roads, which has led to vehicles frequently impeding safe access to premises and affecting visibility at road junctions.

Due to close proximity of the local Rail Station, Dorchester Close, Walnut Close, Carters Ride, Hampden Road and Orchard Close are being frequently used by commuters for all day parking.

The Parish Council has undertaken extensive engagement with residents of the affected roads, and there is a strong level of support to implement parking restrictions to address the concerns and improve the safety of residents and all road users.

We would like to hear your views on the proposals.

Proposal

As a result of the issues raised by the Parish Council, we are proposing to implement parking restrictions on several roads.
