Yellow lines to end residents parking misery
IC Surrey
YELLOW lines and parking permits are being introduced in the Gardens Estate, Horley, to deter holidaymakers and commuters from leaving cars there.
The controlled parking zone will come into effect next month after years of complaints from residents about their roads being clogged up by cars whose drivers wished to avoid paying car park charges.
For most roads in the area, which extends from Ringley Avenue and Church Road down to the Riverside Estate, the single yellow line restrictions will apply between 10am and noon, Monday to Friday.
In The Crescent, Church Road and Ringley Avenue, the restrictions will apply from 8am to 6pm on weekdays.
The area, where parking problems arise from being near both Horley Railway Station and Gatwick Airport, will get parking bays for residents with permits required between 10am and noon.
Homes with one parking space off the road, such as their driveway,will be entitled to apply for one £20 annual parking permit, while those with no off-street parking can have two.
One-day visitor permits,costing £10 for 25 passes,are also available.There is also parking for disabled blue badge holders.
Riverside resident Tracey Packham said: "I'm quite happy to pay £20 rather than have someone park outside my house. It's frustrating to have to walk to get to your car. We're only allowed 50 visitor permits per year, though."
Horley town councillor for the area, Bernard Kendall, said: "It's long overdue,but at least it's on the move.
"Most residents certainly should welcome it - they've been banging on about it for a long time. Holidaymakers would park in some of the roads for two or three weeks.
"But if the restrictions aren't enforced by wardens then it will negate a lot of the good work done. It might stop the travellers, but not the office workers."
The scheme is run by Surrey County Council, which controls on-street parking,in partnership with Reigate and Banstead Borough Council, which enforces the restrictions.
