I've not heard of any proposal to reduce parking spaces in the Old Market Place area but Cllr Biddolph may be referring to the likely loss relating to the development at the police station.

As far as I am aware, the council recognises the value of parking spaces to local retailers and tries to replace them when they have been lost although if 14 are going this will be challenging.

Although the analysis is interesting, the attempt to put a precise number on spend per visiter is spurious. In this case the average is distorted by a single driver who spent more than everyone else put together. However, unless proved otherwise, it is reasonable to assume that people who drive to the shops are spending more than those at don't simply because they will tend to include those purchasing more than is easily carried. You just need to consider your own behaviour when shopping to confirm this.

Where the analysis does provide data which looks reasonably statistically robust is the proportion of out of town shoppers which is shown to be very high. This undermines the argument that discouraging parking in town centres will help reduce short car trips. It's main effect would be to make people who might have come to Chiswick go elsewhere probably driving further in the process.

My suggestion for dealing with the problem would be an extension of the parking time limit at the Sainsbury's car park to three hours. Cllr Biddolph encountered shoppers who had parked there up to the limit and then moved and I think this is not unusual behaviour.

A limit of three hours would allow for someone from outside the area to do some shopping around Chiswick, get a spot of lunch and do the big shop at Sainsbury's. This would also mean that vehicles approaching the north aren't adding to the congestion on the High Road.
