Four years ago, the council introduced permit parking for all roads in the local area with the exception of Caernarvon Road. Since then it is frequently difficult to find parking on the street in the evenings, mornings and weekends, leaving residents to have to park several roads away and struggle back with shopping, children and dogs, not mention the impact to those who need parking spaces for carers, deliveries, works or visitors.

There are local businesses and shoppers who park on the road, as well as commuters who park and cycle to the city. Since Caernarvon Road is the only non permit road in the area, many residents from surroundong roads use Caernarvon Road to avoid paying for a (second) permit. As we don't have the ability to apply for residents permits, we cannot park on other surrounding roads during resteicted hours.

There are currently petitions being signed in opposition to this proposal from local businesses and they are asking their customers who are not impacted by these parking issues, to oppose this on their behalf without a real understanding of how this issue has impacted the local community.

These petitions have garnered lots of support and so it is really important that we get the same level of support to counter this. Please support our community by signing this petitions to help us get over the line and make life a bit easier.

Please could you spare five minutes to sign this petition.
