As a resident of Deodar Road, I can confirm that the residents and businesses in our local streets were all consulted and received several communications about the rezoning. The notice of the proposed rezoning was published in the Wandsworth Guardian on 14 April and the The Wandsworth (Putney) (Parking Places) (No 9) Order 2005 was published in the same paper on 30 June. There was a 90% response to the consultation in favour of rezoning.

There is a parking crisis in Deodar Road. Prior to the rezoning, cars from not one, but two zones, were permitted to park in Deodar Road. We are unusual in this street in having experienced intense development resulting in Putney Wharf, the Brewhouse and Castle developments. Two new walkways have been created through Putney Wharf to the Town Centre from Deodar Road generating a huge increase in visitors seeking to park on street.

In view of the impact of these significant developments, the Council took steps to address the parking crisis which had resulted. The rezoning took over 10 months to implement in order to comply with the legal procedures.   

There are several pay and display bays in Deodar Road and surrounding streets, those with disabled permits are entitled to use residents' bays, the town centre is served by excellent public transport facilities (tube, train and bus), there is a public car park in the town centre and there are many cycle routes, one goes down Deodar Road.
