No more double yellow lines will be introduced in a street “for the foreseeable” after a consultation revealed residents remain “split” on the idea.

Cassiobury ward councillor Peter Kloss was accused of being “obsessed” about parking restrictions after he wrote to people seeking views on whether they’d like to see more lines painted.

Dave Clifford, who lives in Cassiobury Park Avenue, said it was not the first time, claiming: “It seems to be an obsession of Peter Kloss, to keep coming back and canvasing about parking.

“It’s like Nicola Sturgeon on the Scottish referendum.”

Cllr Kloss says some of Mr Clifford’s neighbours, including from the Cassiobury Triangle Residents Association, do support more yellow lines – but not enough.

After writing to households on this part of the Cassiobury estate in September, Cllr Kloss says he received 50 responses, which represented around a quarter.

Although two-thirds admitted to experiencing problems accessing their driveways, it was “exactly 50/50” when it came to whether respondents wanted a full consultation.

Announcing the results in his latest letter to residents, the Liberal Democrat councillor wrote: “My main conclusion is that resident views remain split, both on whether the issues should be taken forward, and what solution should be adopted, if any.

“Therefore your councillors have recommended and agreed with Watford council officers not to proceed with a full consultation.

“With this resident feedback I would not expect to return to the issue of parking regulations in the area for the foreseeable future, and then only if something significant changes.”

Cllr Kloss says he will continue to press for more parking enforcement patrols in the area, particularly when large events are taking place in Cassiobury Park.

Some ideas put forward by residents to solve parking issues in the area included creating a car park or park-and-ride scheme.

Others suggested creating a one-way system – possibly down Gade Avenue and part of Cassiobury Park Avenue.

But Cllr Kloss said this would require full consultation, believed the idea posed “big challenges”, and said he “doubts it would attract sufficient resident support”.
