Revised Proposals by Tower Hamlets Council

After a vigorous campaign by residents the council have drawn up revised proposals with regards to parking bays on Thomas Road. Details are below:

  • remove approx. two parking spaces (5m and 4m in length) on the north side outside no.11 and on the south side, the first immediate Permit holder parking space east of no.44 respectively as opposed to the six parking spaces that were originally proposed to be removed.
  • To introduce a general Loading bay (10m) on the south side opposite Limborough House.
  • To convert all the existing single yellow lines to double yellow lines on both sides of Thomas Road outside no.44 and Limborough House.
  • To introduce no loading – at any time restrictions on the north side of the road outside Limborough House to maintain traffic flow at all times and to ensure there are no obstructions from parked vehicles.

The revised proposal also includes converting three business parking spaces to residential parking spaces) which are close to the site (see the attached map):-
