Following Service Requests received from residents, an investigation was undertaken to review the parking situation in the section of Grays bordered by Bridge Road to the west, East Thurrock Road/Broadway to the south and Whitehall Lane to the east. It followed claims that commuter’s vehicles left in the area all day whilst the driver goes to work either in Grays, or via the train station, restricts parking for residents. Many vehicles are also left parked too close to the junctions and this causes an obstruction to driver’s sightlines and restricts access for emergency/delivery vehicles.

It is recommended that following consideration of the objections received, in order not to cause an additional distress to residents living within the area, it is recommended that the PPA (area J) is not introduced at this time as the residents do not feel this would bring any benefit to their area.
