I’ve been contacted tonight by residents from the Scheme Houses concerned that the council has posted notices today advising that it intends to impose parking restrictions at some of the street corners (locations shown in in the image below).
I was told earlier today about the council’s intentions, but beyond that I have no further information on the matter, nor any idea how or where the plans originated. This concerns me because it resembles the way parking charges were imposed at Crimdon earlier this year, despite significant local opposition and my own objections.
To make matters worse, I’m not aware that any meaningful form of consultation was carried out in relation to this latest development. This has left residents largely in the dark about the details of the plans and any implications they might have in terms of parking their vehicles once the restrictions are in place.
I’ll make enquiries in the morning to try and find out how these latest proposals came about and I’ll post an update as soon as I have more information.
