Ellenbrook Parking Consultation - Have your say

Have your say on the new restrictions

What happened previously

On 10^th March 2022, a report relating to these proposals and the objections made were considered by the Cabinet Planning and Parking Panel. Details can be found at Cabinet Planning and Parking Panel - Thursday, 10th March 2022 at 7:30pm - Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council Webcasting (public-i.tv)

The cross-party Panel agreed to progress with these proposals. 

All objections and comments were recorded and duly considered along with the Parking Services report. 507 properties were consulted of which 218 responded, with nine formal objections received overall. Further details regarding the meeting including the report presented and objection responses can be found at: https://democracy.welhat.gov.uk/documents/s18780/Item 5b - TRO Ellenbrook.pdf
