Residents "Option 9"

Following our recent campaign the Council are now putting forward your consideration a revised plan in order to help solve the problems caused by hospital employees and visitors parking in our side streets. You will receive their proposed plans through your door in the very near future followed by a publicity campaign. The council’s previous publicity campaign gave the residents seven options to choose from (all at a cost to the residents). Lee Martin (Conservative) has since put forward his “Option 8”.

The residents want a simple but effective solution to this problem.
The Association members have put together at the following points to be put to the council:

1. Free Permits For Residents only parking in all the streets surrounding the hospital site for first car, with a fixed minimum cost for additional residents cars.

2. Free visitors permits for unlimited stay by friends, relations, business agents etc.

3. Limited parking provision for non-permit holders for up to 2 hours only.

4. Yellow lines in all back lanes (with residents' parking allowed).

5. All junctions to be kept clear with either bollards or extended double yellow lines from main streets where necessary.

6. No permits for hospital staff. The Hospital Trust must be made accountable for the car parking problem they have caused and therefore should resolve staff and visitor parking issues themselves.

Thank you for your continued support.
