Hampden Park - 43% of respondents indicated experiencing <strong>parking</strong> difficulties at<br />
some time but it was a relatively small sample size with no particular streets<br />
indicating a significant problem.<br />
Support for <strong>parking</strong> controls<br />
When asked about whether they support the principle of introducing <strong>parking</strong> controls<br />
in their street there was no overwhelming majority in any of the areas with:<br />
• Meads - 37% of residents (and 2 businesses) were in favour of controls<br />
and 52% of residents (and 19 businesses) were not in favour<br />
• Rodmill – 52% of residents (and 2 businesses) were in favour of controls<br />
and 37% of residents (and 0 businesses) were not in favour<br />
• Hampden Park – 32% of residents (and 4 businesses) were in favour of<br />
controls and 54% of residents (and 5 businesses) were not in favour<br />
Summary of findings for Stage 4 areas<br />
Parking issues do not affect as high a proportion of residents in these areas as in<br />
Stage 3<br />
These are localised <strong>parking</strong> issues, eg near University, schools, hospital, shops<br />
and rail station<br />
Around a third of respondents in The Meads and Hampden Park support the<br />
principle of introducing controls but majority do not support controls<br />
Greatest interest in controls was in the Rodmill area but this area does not<br />
necessarily have area-wide <strong>parking</strong> difficulties<br />
Options<br />
As part of the analysis of the consultation findings, WSP PB also presented options<br />
for further consideration to help address the issues identified for each stage.<br />
Stage 1 and 2 town centre area - options for further consideration:<br />
• Review specific requests for changes on a street by street basis<br />
• Examine where amendments are appropriate<br />
• Undertake further consultation on the amendments<br />
• Review yellow line markings within the town centre area on streets where<br />
issues have been identified during the consultation<br />
• Review the loading bay policy and consider time of operation<br />
• Allow 4 hour on-street paid for <strong>parking</strong> with appropriate pricing (to deter shift<br />
from off-street car parks)
