Note about additional information being available from libraries:
Eastcote library could only find the schedule shown above, and a copy of the draft Order dated August 2018 (attached here) which was previously displayed in EBC Changing Rooms in 2018. This cites the reason for introducing the charges as to 'create a turnover of parking spaces for visitors to Cavendish Park'. Having checked with LBH Resident Services, the only change from the 2018 draft Order is an increase in the Maximum Stay period from 4 to 5 hours - there is no other additional information available.
