Permit parking only? (Roads)

Fri 21 Feb, 18:39

George, apparently they have cars with ANPR cameras fitted which detect vehicles which have not got a permit. Obviously this won’t work with areas where you can park for a period of time, so this will rely on traffic wardens. The Town Council meeting we went to said that the extra traffic warden visits would be paid for by funds raised by the parking permits, but the maths does not add up in my head. How many permits are they hoping to sell, and what is the actual cost of a traffic warden attending the town?

Forgive my ignorance if this has been detailed in another thread but how will they enforce these new measures?

I have just sent an email to the Town Clerk requesting that the Agenda for next week's meeting of the Town Council include the issue of the promised monitoring of the  Parked Cars Dispersal Scheme. Extracts from my email are set out below in the hope that more local residents will attend the meeting. Its always good fun.

Dear Lisa

May I request that councillors find time to discuss their proposed modus operandi in relation to the promised monitoring of the impact of the Parked Cars Dispersal Scheme. You will call that residents were assured that matters would be reviewed after six months.

If councillors can find time to discuss this matter it would be appreciated by many residents – especially those residing in roads outside the town centre who, as I am sure councillors will agree, will experience an upturn in the level of parked cars by their homes. Will there be made any attempt to record the pre-implementation level of parked cars in, say for example, Wychwood Paddocks, Ticknell Piece Road and Crawborough (to name but a few) in order to compare and contrast the present with that with the post-dispersal situation.

I have just been informed by the lady currently going around putting the signs up that from the salon down is permit parking only. Shame. Please Town Council source another car park urgently.

I can’t seem to find any updated information regarding the new parking system within the town, I was under the impression that Sheet Street outside our salon Clarimore Beautique would be permit parking and limited parking for non-permit holders - One hour only but the officers comments reads a compromise of two hours could be reached! Which we were desperately hoping for our business. Unfortunately at present only permit parking signs have gone up, leaving us very anxious of our future.

Any more information would be greatly received, thank you.
