Have your say on parking and travel proposals for Winslow - Informal consultation

Overview

We want to hear your view on proposals to manage parking and travel around Winslow.

A new railway station is being built in Winslow as part of the East West Rail project to connect Oxford and Cambridge. The station is expected to open in 2025.

The station will have a car park – this will be run by us.

We want to encourage commuters to use the train station car park and not park in Winslow town centre or on nearby roads.

We have reviewed current parking in Winslow and developed proposals for parking restrictions to help meet this aim and want to hear your views.

We also want to hear from residents, local organisations and anyone planning to use the train station to help us develop further detailed proposals for future consultation.

Proposals for roads near the train station

We are proposing the following restrictions on roads near the train station:

• A413 (Buckingham Road) from north of Great Horwood Road to Seven Gables Farm
  • 24 hr clearway (no stopping), verge parking ban and double yellow lines (no waiting at any time)
• A413 (Buckingham Road) from south of Great Horwood Road to existing restrictions in the town centre
  • Double yellow lines (no waiting at any time)
• B4033 (Great Horwood Road) from the A413 (Buckingham Road) eastwards to the river bridge
  • Double yellow lines (no waiting at any time)
• Furze Lane
  • 24 hr clearway (no stopping) and verge parking ban where required

Proposals for resident parking

We are proposing to introduce parking restrictions in Winslow to give residents priority to park.

The restrictions should, at a minimum, consist of small sections of double yellow lines to:

• protect junctions
• protect visibility and safe movement
• ensure passing places are provided in long stretches of parked vehicles

We want to hear what other parking restrictions, if any, residents would like introduced.

What happens next

If feedback shows people want to change the existing or implement new parking controls, we will begin the legal process to amend the Traffic Regulation Order. This will require statutory consultation in order for a formal decision to be made.
