About this consultation
From 7 August to 26 August 2025, we consulted our community on introducing a ‘2P (2-hour), 8 am to 6 pm Monday to Friday’ parking restriction along the west (odd-numbered) side of May Street, Kew.
The restriction change is designed to improve resident parking opportunities through reducing the amount of long-term parking in the street available for non-residents. Residents are exempt from the 2-hour (2P) restriction through the display of a valid parking permit.
We invited residents, property owners and people who are eligible for a residential parking permit to participate in this consultation. We thank everyone who provided feedback on the proposed changes.
What we asked
We asked to introduce, on the west (odd-numbered properties) side:
- 2P (2-hour), 8 am to 6 pm Monday to Friday’ restriction
- ‘2-hour (2P) 8 am to 6 pm, Monday to Friday’.
Changes to parking restrictions are made if:
- we receive feedback from at least 10% of people invited to share their feedback, and
- 55% support the proposed changes.
What we heard
We received a very good response rate (45%) from eligible community members living in the street. Of the responses:
- 74% supported the proposed change and
- 26% opposed the proposed change to the parking restrictions.
What happens next?
In accordance with the Council’s Parking Management Policy 2017 and Parking Management Procedures 2017, a minimum 55% support is required to implement any proposed parking change.
Therefore, with majority support received for the change (74%), the parking restriction signage on the west (odd-numbered properties) side of May Street will be altered within the next two weeks to read:
- ‘2-hour (2P) 8 am to 6 pm, Monday to Friday’.
