Parking Standards for New Developments Draft (Nov 2022)
Parking Standards for New Developments Draft (Nov 2022)
Representation ID: 16022
Received: 30/11/2022
Respondent: David Edwards
The residents of Beaudesert and Van Dyke Road in Leighton Buzzard continue to suffer frustration at
not being able to find somewhere to park their cars.
The properties were all built in an age when cars were awaiting invention.
We were told that a consultant was employed to look at parking and to decide if intervention by
CBC was needed.
As a consequence addition yellow lines were painted around corners ( usually eliminating at least
one if not two parking spots)
On Beaudrsert a long area, previously used by residents was painted with yellow lines knocking out
half a dozen spaces.
Llamas walk had been made ‘residents only parking’ despite most residents having at least two
spaces on their fronts. That drove people into the surrounding streets where there was already a
problem. Surely this could have been better managed by limited waiting given that the original
complaint from the residents there was from workers in town leaving cars there.
Given that a consultant made the survey one wonders what the reason was that stopped him/them
looking at nearby Clarance Road where once again people have to leave their cars with wheels on
the pavement?
Come in an evening or indeed come on a Sunday when the church on Beaudesert has several
services and the problem is magnified.
It’s interesting to note that everyone managed by themselves with no accidents but within a week
of the “improvements” we had a garden wall demolished by a speeding taxi.
CBC has done a disservice to the locality and we ask that the problem be looked at again please.
