Parking rules on dozens of roads in Twyford could be transformed after two-thirds of residents surveyed reported problems on their streets.
Wokingham Borough Council have revealed proposed changes to on-road parking regulations after a 2020 survey of residents and local businesses revealed that 91 per cent of respondents supported new restrictions.
The three top issues named were commuter parking, which equalled nearly a quarter of the concerns raised (24 per cent), followed by inconsiderate parking (17 per cent) and parking too close to junctions (14 per cent).
Subsequently, the council carried out on-site surveys looking at how much parking was available, as well as how long people were parking and where.

Finally complete after being delayed by the pandemic, the council has revealed its proposed changes to on-street parking management, which have been developed “in response to specific resident requests and the types of issues raised.”
The 46 enforcement changes affect 33 different roads by introducing measures including implementing double yellow lines, adding residential parking restrictions, and junction protection measures.
The council has published documents detailing the changes. One being a table of all roads in the survey and what the suggestions are, the other a series of maps outlining where the changes would be.
Residents are being asked to provide their feedback on the plans by completing the survey, which is open until December 19.
