Parking Consultation For Residents Living Close To The Chiswick Cinema
Hounslow Council considering extending CPZ hours so locals can still park
Hounslow Council is carrying out a review of the East Chiswick CPZ (Controlled Parking Zone) ahead of the opening of the new 5-screen cinema at 94-96 Chiswick High Road and has asked local people for their views.
The cinema is still anticipating opening in December 2020.
Local residents have expressed concerns that there may not be sufficient space for their vehicles once the cinema becomes operational.
At present, the CPZ operates from 9am - 7pm, Monday to Saturday. While the council and local Residents' Associations are working with the cinema to encourage its customers to avoid arriving by car, Hounslow says it is "unrealistic to expect the cinema not to generate some additional demand for parking in the evening."
The approved times in the new cinema's planning consent are from 8am to midnight on Sunday to Thursday, with a slightly later closure of 1am on Friday and Saturday. However, it is understood that the cinema will typically close at 11pm except for special events or when a longer film is showing.
Based on this information, the council believes it may be appropriate to extend the CPZ hours as follows: Monday – Saturday, 9am – 9pm
Sunday, 5pm – 9pm
You can reply to the consultation and offer any other suggestions you may have regarding changes to this CPZ. The deadline is March 30th 2020.
Hounslow Council says it is not currently proposing any changes to the zone boundaries, but this may be considered along with the scheme times if the review suggests there is widespread support to do so.
