Elstree Gardens CPZ review
Bexley Council is reviewing the operating hours of the Elstree Gardens Controlled Parking Zone following resident concerns.
Bexley Council is reviewing the operating hours of the Elstree Gardens Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ), which currently runs from 10 am to 4 pm. This review follows concerns raised by residents about parking availability, as acknowledged by Councillor Cameron Smith, Cabinet Member for Economic Growth and Infrastructure, in July 2026. The council is working through feedback on the six-hour CPZ.
The six-hour CPZ was initially introduced on an experimental basis to alleviate parking pressures caused by commuters using the Elizabeth Line. A report to the council in July 2026 noted that the restriction was implemented due to changes in working patterns. No further meetings are currently scheduled to discuss the review.
