| To reiterate the Park and Staveley Road CPZ trial has been a success However the scheme is a success. What people need to realise is that this is ONLY 2 HOURS A DAY monday to friday. not 24 hours 7 days a week. What the scheme has done is eliminate the long term holiday parkers and vans parked for months on end and freed up spaces for residents. The shops and businesses on Station Parade were very concerned that the scheme would affect them but they are now agreed that if anything the easier parking makes it easier for people to use their services. People who are campaigning against further CPZ's in the area are also scaremongering about fewer bays/spaces being available. Again this has not happened. If anything the roads are safer particularly at junctions where people used to park dangerously. At peak times roads are free of traffic trawling incessantly up and down trying to squeeze into the tiniest of spaces and parking badly and unsafely. My post is merely to say 2 hours a day with restricted parking really can solve a lot of problems for the whole of Grove Park. |
