Timperley library and the Council car park land has been closed to the public during the development phase to enhance facilities to the Village. The new development includes a 77 space car park that is to be operated as public parking, managed by the Council. Previously the car park was free to use and was unrestricted in the length of time customers could park which often led to overnight parking from nearby residents and businesses.

A number of complaints had been received concerning access issues and road safety caused by vehicles being parked in an obstructive manner on Kenmore Drive and at its junction with Green Lane.

Due to the concerns, the Council proposed to introduce junction protection in the form of double yellow lines around the junction with Kenmore Drive and Green Lane and on the east side of Green Lane between Kenmore Drive and the garden centre entrance, in order to restrict parking at all times. It was also proposed to introduce a single yellow line restriction on one side of Kenmore Drive (north side) that would restrict parking between 9am and 5pm, Monday to Friday. Following the informal consultation, it is also proposed to introduce the single yellow line on parts of Green Lane.
