PARKING permits could be rolled out to more Chalvey streets if Slough Borough Council goes ahead with new plans.
The council is eyeing to combine existing on-street permit controls into a single unified zone, known as zone L, at Chalvey East and introduce residential parking permits and visitor vouchers.

The following addresses may have to pay for new permits:
- Burlington Avenue: All properties
- Chalvey Road East: Odd numbers one to 59, number 61 (flats one to 24), and even numbers two to 48 at Swan Court
- College Avenue: All properties
- Hilperton Road: The entire southside
- King’s Road: All properties
- Martin Road: All properties
- Ragstone Road: All odd numbered properties. Even numbered properties can only apply for visitor vouchers
- The Crescent: All properties
- Windsor Road: Even numbered properties from 160 to 196.
There would be a limit of two parking permits per household to all affected properties. A first parking permit could cost £45 per year, whereas a second could cost £90 per year.
Visitor vouchers come in batches of five and may cost £4 for three hours, £8 for six hours, and £12 for 12 hours, and £20 for 24 hours.
The council is also eyeing to replace the existing ‘signing-only’ scheme in College Avenue, King’s Road, and Martin Road with standard signing including white marking to highlight the resident’s bays,
Vehicles without permits will be allowed to wait in the parking bays for up to one hour between 8am and 7pm, Monday to Saturday on a number of roads.

Additional parking bays and ‘no waiting at any times’ restrictions are also being considered at a number of locations and the council is thinking about scrapping an existing parking entitlement for properties at 4 to 24 High Street.
In the public notice, the council states: “The purpose of these restrictions is to prevent traffic congestion and avoiding danger to persons or other traffic using the road and preventing the likelihood of such danger arising, while providing convenient parking facilities for local residents and their visitors.
“Further aims are to promote sustainability and improve air quality by encouraging commuters to use alternatives to the private car.”
Anyone wishing to object can do so by emailing parking@slough.gov.uk or writing to Savio DeCruz, associate director of operations and place, at the council’s address.
