Objections or other representations may be made – see paragraph 7).

(b) remove certain existing disabled persons’ parking places from Bonnington Square, Caldwell Street, Cleaver Square, Cranworth Gardens, Dorset Road, Fentiman Road, Hackford Road, Hillyard Street, Kennings Way, Kennington Oval, Meadow Road, Richborne Terrace and Vauxhall Grove;

(c) reduce the parking space adjacent to the disabled persons’ parking places specified in paragraph (a) above, to accommodate the longer parking places, and lengthen any parking space adjacent to the disabled persons’ parking places specified in paragraph (b) above to replace the removed parking space;

(l) to shorten a residents’/business/4-hour pay and display parking place by 2 metres, extend another by 6 metres and introduce a new residents’/business/4-hour pay and display parking place in Hillyard Street;

(m) to re-arrange the layout of parking places on the west side of Liberty Street by shortening some and replacing them with “at any time” waiting restrictions (double yellow lines) and extending the length of others with an overall increase in the amount of parking space;

(n) to re-arrange the layout of parking places in Bowden Street by removing the ones on the west side and replacing them with “at any time” waiting restrictions (double yellow lines) and providing new shared-use residents’/business/4-hour pay and display parking places on the east side, with a small overall increase in the amount of parking space;

(o) remove a motorcycle parking area from Claylands Road (at the side of No. 26 Clapham Road) and replace it with single yellow line waiting restrictions (operating during zone hours);

(p) introduce “at any time “ waiting restrictions on vehicles (double yellow lines) in lengths of Ashmole Street, Bowden Street, Glasshouse Walk, Lambeth High Street, Liberty Street, Newport Street, New Spring Gardens Walk and Tinworth Street (instead of the single yellow line waiting restrictions that currently apply between 8.30 am and 6.30 pm on Mondays to Fridays);

Apart from this, the hours of operation of the parking places, the classes of vehicle which may use them, the charges for their use and any time limits, would be those currently applying in similar parking places in the adjacent area.

4. The Orders are necessary to meet changes in demand for different types of parking space in the Kennington “K” CPZ, whilst maintaining road safety and the flow of traffic and continuing to protect the available on-street parking space for residents, their visitors and local businesses and providing parking space for short term use and for other road users. The disabled persons’ parking places would be varied to improve parking facilities for disabled persons and removed where they are no longer needed.
