For those residents who are not yet signed up to RMG Living, here is the latest communication from RMG regarding parking on the estate.

RE: Parking Enforcement Leybourne Park.

Following our recent communication surrounding parking enforcement, we have acknowledged and taken on board resident feedback received.

Therefore, we have reviewed the restrictions further to identify a solution that takes resident lifestyles and work types into consideration, whilst also adhering to health and safety requirements onsite.

Please see outlined below the parking conditions that will be implemented going forward:

Commercial vehicles / Vans

Commercial vehicles / vans will be permitted to park only in demised (personal / private) bays.

In addition, they are only allowed to be parked there if they do not overhang the bay or cause obstruction onto the communal land i.e. hanging out onto the footpath or roadways.

Commercial vehicles are not permitted to park in visitor bays or on any part of the managed land, including outside of double yellow line marked areas.

If you have a contractor that needs to attend to carry out works to your property and they require the use of a visitor bay, please let us know in advance so we can arrange for an exemption with CPM.

For any emergency or unplanned works, again please let us know as soon as possible so we can arrange for an exemption on any commercial vehicle that parked onsite.

Visitor bays

Commercial vehicles are not permitted to park in visitor bays or on any part of the communal land. Vans found parking in visitor bays and on the roadways, without a prior exemption, will be ticketed.

Regular parking restrictions for visitor bay parking will apply, i.e. ‘…park one fully taxed and licensed private motor vehicle temporarily on a ‘’first come first served’’ basis subject to availability but not in excess of twenty-four (24) hours in any period of forty-eight (48) hours’.

We are aware of the hard work that the Resident Association has put in to offer additional parking spaces onsite therefore we will look to support this and offer leniency with the visitor bays however we must reiterate that these bays are not to be ‘claimed’ and are for the use of all residents and their visitors onsite, on a first come first served basis, as intended by your leases and transfers.

Roadways

We will maintain a strict, no parking on double yellow lines approach, pavements or grassed areas. CPM will also be patrolling for any vehicles causing obstructions i.e. parking on bends whereby it prevents ease of access for other vehicles, emergency services etc.

If needed, additional parking can be found on Papyrus Way. The parking restrictions there are as follows:

Monday – Saturday (8am – 6pm)

We understand that this is taking a step back from the previous restrictions circulated, however it is extremely important for us to work with the residents and find a solution that will be maintainable and manageable for all.

We feel that this is a fair compromise for all parties involved and hope that everyone respects one another and practice mindful, safe and responsible parking.

The parking conditions will be reviewed regularly and if we find that the safety of the residents is being compromised and the conditions are not being met, we will have no choice but to revert to the covenants of the leases and transfers, which were willingly signed by all upon their purchase.

Please be advised that I will be onsite on Tuesday, 10th September therefore should you wish to meet and discuss any of the above, alongside any other matters, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
