I am strongly against the introduction of a Parking Zone in the area. I live opposite the Charter School and whilst sometimes it may be difficult to find a parking spot there are plenty of available spaces in roads nearby and I have legs and am capable of walking. Its very rare that I do not find space so the argument that it will guarantee parking for local residents falls very flat. We are all adults here. Why do we need to bring in a tax just so we can park.
At a time when most local councils are striving to reduce street clutter I find the proposal to add yet more confusing signage, road markings and the addition of traffic wardens in the area unpalatable. If the traffic wardens served a civic purpose I might find that agreeable but I rather think that even if they saw a crime been commited or some suspicious activity they would rather turn a blind eye than report it to the police. They serve no function other than to cause unrest and another blot on the landscape.
Finally in a time of belt tightening and high fuel prices yet another tax to bring in that will not bring any benefits to the local area.
