Post in Residents Parking

2007 Mar 15 12:09 UTC

Hello

  Surely people in Southville live near enough to the city centre not to need a
car at all? it's a 5-10 minute walk, after all...! (hides behind sofa).

  How about paying parking fees to people who cycle/walk catch the bus as an
incentive to green commuting?

  Awaits flak....

  STeph :)

  The council is considering going for residents parkng schemes for different
areas of the city, all of which face huge and growing parking problems.

Since I have been a councillor, I have been contacted by many people
complaining about commuter parking and asking if/when residents parking is
coming in. (Of course Linda Salter and my predecssor, Matthew Symonds, were
involved in a survey of residents a year or so ago - I will leave it to them to
say more).

So the question is this - would you pay to have a better chance of parking near
your home? If so, how much? Is residents parking the way ahead? Or is it an
affront, another council money-grabbing exercise?
