Looking to move there? As with all of those roads, Villiers etc etc if you live at the bottom you are laughing as there are loads of spaces along there, middle to top its not so fun.

Parking in Tamworth, Raynham and end of Talbot Street is always bad. The "Residents Parking" that starts the other side of Currie Street means that people who work in the town or use the station will park down these streets. Some people are very neighbourly but some aren't!

Thanks both, anyone had any luck with getting permission to convert front garden into parking? Looked on the East Herts website and it seems to be a minimum of 5m, which is huge! Is there any chance the residents scheme will be extended?

Go door knocking and ask. I don’t know with the the driveway, anything under permitted development needs to end 2m from the boundary line i.e. the pavement.

As someone who works down Tamworth Road, I'm clearly biased but don't think resident permits are needed - it seems to work quite well, with many of the residents leaving for work as we arrive and vice-versa... would be a nightmare if they did add permits and would probably make it unviable for our business to stay in the street :(.

As a resident I fully agree with Andy. No need for a permit scheme, and I was really pleased we didn't get one.

Mistlethrush, it appears that you and your visitors can park for free today in permit allocated areas, apparently. We have been for a long walk today and the parking wardens are ticketing yellow line parking for fun. Very few people are driving yet bank holidays aren't exempt from penalty charge notices apparently, so parking on single yellow lines the night before, you get a ticket by 8am on New Year's Day..... And, to make it worse, all car parks are free to park in today, but I doubt they weren't yesterday. Seemed a bit daft to us as we watched the parking wardens out in force. I can understand if a vehicle is parked in a dangerous way but it's a bank holiday for goodness sake. Happy New Year.

No not that specific one, although a few had come up on that road. This one has been built by a local builder. There just dont seem to be enough 3/4 bed family homes in Hertford (wrong thread i know!)

I believe that most people agree with you Tiny. Having spoken to a family member who runs past Tamworth road frequently, they confirmed that parking doesn't seem to be an issue. It is very subjective however as you may not be a very good parker [:D]

And yet... I received notification from the council today about adding double yellows to parts of Tamworth Road and therefore reducing the parking that is available. I think the plan ref is G-MESPT.17001/1200/002 but not sure if you can see this online... I can't see anything positive coming of this, other than making a situation that currently works fine turn into one that doesn't and have raised an objection. I'd urge anyone else who parks on Tamworth Road to do similar to help block this. [email protected] As I see it, what will inevitably happen is the restrictions will start to create parking problems that aren't there, the residents will call for resident permit scheme, the businesses will have to leave => great for the local economy and a whole chunk of empty units appear opposite the houses.

I have just had a look at the proposals for the double yellows and although I do not live on Tamworth, I do live round the corner. I can understand the double yellows on corners but not the other places. Don't the local authorities realise the huge problem of parking? This will take away about 8 spaces and those cars will have to go somewhere! I would like to see Tamworth and Talbot made one way, that should help surely. It would mean the Rat Run would only happen once a day. There is no real answer to all this, but parking really causes more stress and anxiety than driving down Tamworth has ever done!!

Couldn't agree more - I can understand some potential need on the corners but some of them extend along the road and I just can't understand any rationale.. I'm not sure how it works - perhaps it's been requested?

I can't find this online and I haven't received anything through the letterbox despite living in Tamworth Road - at the far end (allotments). Has anyone got a link to this online or can scan in the notification please? Cheers
