High Elms Lane, Garston

Status: Consultation closed 21 April 2026. All responses received during the consultation are being reviewed before a decision on the scheme is made.

Overview

Three Rivers District Council developed proposed changes at High Elms Lane to improve journeys for those who need to visit the schools, crematorium or residential areas located on the road. The proposal is designed to support safer and easier trips for those who walk, wheel, cycle, use a car or take public transport. New parking restrictions are included as well as physical alterations to the paths, parking bays, verges and minor altercations to the carriageway. Proposals can be viewed here: haveyoursay.threerivers.gov.uk/high-elms-lane.

Langleybury Lane, Hunton Bridge

Status: On hold - pending outcome of planning application. Once the outcome of the planning application is confirmed, the scheme can progress to the Stage 3 detailed design consultation.

Overview

We are investigating parking problems around St Paul’s School, Langleybury Lane, Hunton Bridge. Draft preliminary design plans were published.

The proposals include parking bays where our engineers consider parking would be safe and will not obstruct traffic flow, with parking restrictions elsewhere. These proposals are intended to improve the local environment for everyone, including people who do not drive but who are affected by parking – for example, where it obstructs footways or blocks sightlines, making it harder to cross the road.

You can view the proposal plans here: Langleybury Lane parking proposal plans (PDF).

Parsonage Close, Abbots Langley

Status: On hold - pending outcome of care home redevelopment. Following the results of the care home planning application, council officers are having further discussions to decide the best approach for taking this scheme forward.

Overview

We conducted a survey to seek the views of residents on a proposed design to address the parking problems in Parsonage Close and the eastern part of Abbots Road in early 2018. The relevant committee determined that no further scheme will be progressed in Parsonage Close and Abbots Road, except for:

• double yellow lines around the junction of Abbots Road (NE-SW arm) with Abbots Road (NW-SE arm) for 10 metres in each direction to protect visibility for people walking, cycling or driving around this junction
• proposed double yellow lines in the Parsonage Close garage site and its access road, including the turning head at the western end of this road, to prohibit dangerous and obstructive parking and to make it easier and safer for drivers to turn around at the end of the road by keeping the turning head clear of parked vehicles.

Rickmansworth West review

Status: Initial Consultation closed 22 December 2025. All comments received during the initial consultation have been reviewed and discussions are taking place on possible changes to the current parking arrangements.

All decisions on proposed parking schemes are taken by the district council in consultation with local ward Councillors.

Overview

Three Rivers District Council is carrying out a review on the parking restrictions in and around Moneyhill Parade, Rickmansworth that were introduced in December 2024. The roads and the restrictions are summarised below:

• Parts of Uxbridge Road - a clearway (applies at all times) and a loading bay.
• Uxbridge Road Service Road (outside the shops) - up to 4 hours parking, registering at the machines and some permit parking.
• Parts of Elm Way - up to 4 hours parking, registering at the machines, some permit parking and some no-waiting restrictions.
• Mount View - resident permit parking, no-waiting restrictions and some business permit parking.
• Parts of Field Way - resident permit parking and no-waiting restrictions.
• Dellwood - no-waiting restrictions and permit parking.

These restrictions form part of a Controlled Parking Zone, known as Zone ‘RW’. More information about Controlled Parking Zones in Three Rivers is available at www.threerivers.gov.uk/services/parking/parking-permits.

The council would like to determine whether residents, businesses and visitors are happy with the current parking restrictions, or whether any improvements could be made.

Please note:

• Should proposed improvements be developed, further public consultation will take place prior to implementation.
• If there isn’t clear support for changes, or if views are strongly conflicted, the council may not develop this review further.
• Only feedback relevant to this scheme will be considered, please contact the council about other transport or parking issues separately.

Silk Mill Road, Oxhey Hall

Status: Reviewing responses to the initial consultation. All comments received during the initial consultation will be reviewed and considered prior to any decision on changes to the current parking arrangements.

All decisions on proposed parking schemes are taken by the district council in consultation with local ward Councillors.

Overview

Three Rivers District Council wants your views on permit parking in and around the Silk Mill Road area in Oxhey Hall.

A petition with 41 signatures was presented to and accepted by the Council on 10 October 2023. The petition requested a consultation on permit parking due to increased parking by non-residents, as well as an extension to double yellow lines on Silk Mill Road at its junction with Eastbury Road. This petition request was added to the 2025-2027 Parking Management Work Programme for investigation.

We would like to know if residents in the area would be in support of introducing a permit parking scheme. The council generally only implements permit parking schemes where there is majority support from residents residing in the proposed area.

Permit parking schemes are designed to manage parking demand in areas where spaces are limited. Under a scheme, on-street parking is restricted during set days and times, and only vehicles displaying a valid permit (or visitor permit) are allowed to park without time limits. Residents and, in some cases, local businesses can apply for permits, while non-permit holders may be restricted or required to pay to park.

The main benefits of permit parking schemes are that they can reduce parking by non-residents, improve the availability of spaces for local people, and discourage long-stay commuter parking. However, there can also be disadvantages, including the cost of permits, potential displacement of parking into neighbouring streets, and the need for ongoing enforcement. This consultation seeks to understand whether residents feel the benefits would outweigh the drawbacks in this area.

More information about permit parking in Three Rivers district, how they operate and the typical annual charges for permits can be found on our website at www.threerivers.gov.uk/services/parking/parking-permits.

We recently asked for your views via our consultation platform: haveyoursay.threerivers.gov.uk/silk-mill-road

The consultation closed on 6 February 2026.

Please note:

• Should proposed improvements be developed, further public consultation will take place prior to implementation.
• If there isn’t clear support for changes, or if views are strongly conflicted, the council may not develop this review further.
• Only feedback relevant to this scheme will be considered, please contact the council about other transport or parking issues separately.
