The number of residents posting on the forum who support parking controls in Grove Park seems to be increasing. It used to be just a few (who were usually roundly abused) but now many more appear to see the benfits of reducing the amount of commuter and holiday parking on our streets. The response to the Council's latest consultation showed more roads favouring a CPZ than against. There was strong support in favour of parking controls in Elmwood, Eastbourne, Milnthorpe, Staveley West, Lawford and Chatsworth Roads. Residents in Chara Place, Sutton Lane South, Ellesmere, Sutton Court and Chesterfield Roads did not want to be included in the CPZ and will therefore remain outside. This is exactly how the Council's Policy should work. Each road has its own problems and it's down to the residents there to decide what happens - not to people living in roads where there is no parking problem. |
