Tell the Council What you think about residents' parking scheme

West End Parking Consultation 17 December 2012 from West End Labour on Vimeo.

The consultation of the proposed Residents' Car Parking Scheme comes to an end on Friday 21st December.  I think that it is hugely important that everyone with an opinion on this issue must make sure that they make their views known to the City Council.

As I have said nobody has spoken to me in favour of the proposals.  Most people are unhappy that the City Council Administration wants to charge £80 per year for people to park outside their own house.  Something like 7,000 letters were sent out and the council is saying that it has received only 580 responses.  It is crucial that the answers the council receives are representative of the views of the people of the West End.

It is important that people make sure and respond to the consultation.  The City Council must have an accurate idea of people's views on this issue.  You  can hear an interview which I did with Wave 102 by clicking on the video above.

The message is clear though, tell the council what you think about the residents' parking scheme.
