A borough wide CPZ plan was approved by the council in February 2023, and it will be delivered in stages, with each area going to consultation on the proposals.

A new CPZ is proposed for parts of Colnbrook.

The idea of a CPZ is to bring consistency in the management of road space and prevent the need for ad-hoc and disjointed parking provision.

The CPZs out for consultation are for: 

• Brands Road, Crown Close, Crown Meadow, Hillrise, Laburnum Grove, Layburn Crescent, Merlin Close and Pepys Close (Zone CP1)
• Albany Park, Bridge Street, Cottesbrooke Close, High St Colnbrook, Hunstanton Close, Mill Street Colnbrook, Park Street Colnbrook, Rudsworth Close, St Thomas Walk and Vicarage Way (Zone CP2)
• Brookside, Drift Way, Horton Road Colnbrook, Moreland Avenue, Moreland Close, Popes Close, Rayners Close and Willow Close (Zone CP3).

Double yellow lines would also be introduced in some locations.

The introduction of CPZs will better enable the Network Management team to:

• prioritise parking for residents within the enforcement hours of operation, using resident parking permits and vouchers for visitors 
• take account of the impact on other stakeholders including shoppers and users of train stations
• reduce issues such as obstructive and inconsiderate parking, especially at junctions, bends and on footways
• control the number of cars parking on the highway within CPZs
• encourage residents to consider whether multiple car ownership is essential
• contribute to better neighbourhoods by either zero or little displacement into surrounding roads.

Councillor Paul Kelly, lead member for housing, highways, planning and transport, said: “The aim is to reduce the amount of inconsiderate and displaced parking, something which affects many residents daily.

“By consulting with residents, businesses and stakeholders we can design a scheme which addresses the problems of parking congestion and safety, while improving accessibility for emergency services and refuse vehicles.”

The maximum per household will be two permits, with annual permits costing £75 for the first one and £125 for the second. There would also be permits for businesses, costing £300, and visitor permits, issued per household in hourly slots, with 720 hours available to purchase per year.

The times of operation for individual resident parking schemes will reflect local parking needs and road use. Information on each CPZ can be found on the public notices webpage.

Residents in any CPZ would need to create an online account to submit their evidence for a permit and to manage their permits.

Residents will be able to share their views on the scheme design for each of the Colnbrook CPZs in a consultation which launches on Friday 29 November and runs until 20 December.

You can respond to the consultation in one of the following ways:

1. Via email -  parking.consultations@slough.gov.uk
2. Via post - Parking Development, Slough Borough Council, Observatory House, 25 Windsor Road, Slough, SL1 2EL

Feedback from the consultation will be taken into consideration for the final scheme, which would be implemented by March 2025.

CPZs for the following areas are in the final stages of the legal process, with residents soon receiving letters about the implementation of these.

• Carlisle Road, Frank Sutton Way, Godolphin Road, Lake Avenue, Redwood Gardens, Whitby Road and Woodland Avenue
• Baylis Road, Bradley Road, Carmarthen Road, Leeds Road, Oakley Crescent and Pool Lane
• Petersfield Avenue and Mill Street
• Adrians Walk, Cumbrae Close, Fleetwood Road, St Johns Road, St Pauls Avenue, and Troutbeck Close
• Winvale and Vale Grove.
