Hospital parking scheme to be extended
HOMEOWNERS being driven mad by the overflow of patients for Hillingdon Hospital are being offered the chance to have their say on a solution.
An extension to the hospital parking management scheme has been proposed and an ongoing consultation is currently taking place, with the ideas to give residents in Yiewsley priority for on-street parking.
The roads affected are Greatfields Drive, Lavender Road, Rosemary Close, Saxon Close, and part of Violet Avenue.
The scheme will involve parking bays being implemented in all roads, with double yellow lines at corners to prevent people parking too close to junctions and restrictions in place between 9am and 5pm on weekdays.
Detailed drawings of the plans are being displayed at Yiewsley Library, up until the end of the consultation period on 11 March.
There will also be a chance for residents to quiz council officials on the scheme tomorrow (26/2) between 2pm and 7pm in the library.
We'd like to hear from you. Send your stories, pics and videos

Its about time something was done about parking in Greatfields Drive. I am myself a resident and have been for 8 years and it has got consistently worse. I get home at 5.45 and sometime's there is nowhere for me or my husband to park. During the daytime it is stacked to the brim with staff and visitors to the hospital, as Greatfields seems to be the only road near to the hospital that has no parking restrictions in force. Previously we have voted for the parking permit scheme but as most of the residents have driveways it didnt go through . I am unlucky that I do not have a driveway and therefore have to park on the road and until the debris from daytime parking has left I usually have to park away from my house and move my car later in the evening, if there is a space available then. With most familes having at least 2 or even 3 cars it is becoming a big enough problem without the extra cars from the overspill of the hospital.
