The roads on and around Harrow-on-the-Hill are becoming more and more congested with parked cars. The area mostly consists of unrestricted parking, and this is now being used to capacity at many times of the day. This makes it impossible for local residents and local business owners and users to find spaces to park.

The unrestricted parking is now under even more pressure from the ever expanding local schools, other local controlled parking zones and commuters; these are all increasing the demand for parking in the area.

A controlled parking zone is now essential so that the residents and local businesses can thrive.
