Bexley Council is currently reviewing the operating hours of the Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) in Elstree Gardens, which runs from 10 am to 4 pm. This review, announced in July 2026, follows concerns raised by residents about parking availability in the area. Councillor Cameron Smith, Cabinet Member for Economic Growth and Infrastructure, addressed these issues.
