There are communal visitor parking spaces at St James Park, which are limited in number. Parking should always primarily be within the driveway of the houses and designated parking bays. Parking on St James Park roadways and pavements is not permitted as this restricts emergency services and bin collection.

Parking bays marked with a “V” are solely for the use of the flats and are mainly situated in the vicinity of the flats. Any parking thereon is a concession on the part of the freeholders of the flats and the managing company relevant to the flats.

All vehicles in communal visitor parking spaces must display a valid permit. These are issued by the managing agents for 1 year periods only (See below).

Any vehicle parked in communal parking bays must display a current road tax disc. All vehicles declared SORN and commercial vehicles, including caravans, motorised or otherwise and boats etc cannot be parked in St James Park.

No visitor parking bays may be monopolised in perpetuity. That is, visitor parking bays are for temporary use for hours at a time rather than days/weeks at a time.

Residents wishing to load and unload vehicles should park them with due consideration for the access of others. For this purpose you are free to park your vehicle on-site for no longer than 30 minutes.

Parking on Balaclava Road falls within the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames. Parking is restricted. There are bays for Pay and Display parking as well as Residents’ Only “S” bays.

To address the problem of unauthorised parking in our parking bays and roads we operate a Residents’ Parking Permit scheme. These permits are renewed annually at the beginning of January and each household is issued with two permits only.  Unfortunately these are not replaceable during the year.

The permits have code numbers to allow our caretaker to control parking more efficiently.

Note: Some residents have assumed that having been issued with two permits, they are entitled to two spaces at all times. This is, of course, not the case.

In the interests of road safety, please note the signs around St James Park regarding excessive speed.  There are lots of children often playing in the streets of the estate and we would request that all residents and visitors take note of the “Dead Slow” signs at all times.
