Southfields residents have until Sunday to respond to a council consultation that could change how their streets are parked for the first time in 25 years.
The Southfields S2 controlled parking zone has run a single one-hour restriction (1:30–2:30pm, Monday to Friday) since 2001. The council is now asking whether to extend that significantly, potentially to all day and seven days a week.
The review was triggered by a resident petition. Three problems have been identified: congestion near Southfields Village; pressure on evenings and weekends during Fulham FC and Chelsea FC home matches; and dangerous or obstructive parking at junctions.
What the council is proposing to change
The survey asks residents whether to keep the existing 1:30–2:30pm slot, extend to 9:30am–4:30pm, or extend all the way to 9:30am–6:30pm. On days, the options are the current Monday to Friday, Monday to Saturday, or Monday to Sunday.
The council is also considering converting single yellow lines at junctions to double yellows where parking is causing hazards.
If controls extend, visitors would need to buy permits at £10.10 via RingGo (paperless) or £10.70 for a scratch-card. Discounts are available for residents aged 70 or over and Blue Badge holders. Even residents without a car would be affected. The survey covers road issues like speeding, access for emergency vehicles, and disabled access too.
The survey goes wider still. It asks what new street infrastructure residents want, including electric vehicle charging points, secure cycle parking (bike hangars), motorcycle bays, and car club bays. It is not just a vote on hours and days. It is a chance to say what kind of streets residents want.
Who this affects
The consultation covers the north-western part of the S2 zone, the area closest to Southfields Village – the busy part of Replingham Road. When you open the survey, you select your road from a dropdown to confirm your street is included.
How to respond
The survey is open until Sunday 1 March 2026 at haveyoursay.citizenspace.com/wandsworthecs/s2-review.

Once the consultation closes, results will be published online.
Wandsworth is the top-earning council in the UK from parking income. An expanded CPZ in Southfields would add to that, context worth bearing in mind when weighing your response. For more on how the borough’s parking model works, see our May 2025 report.
