Where is the residents' car parking scheme?

I have written to the Chief Executive of Dundee City Council seeking answers about when the council might adhere to its own policy on a Residents' Car Parking Scheme.  On Monday the council reimposed car parking charges in the West End car parks.  This move by the council means that West End residents now face charges of up to £500 as opposed to the dearest residents' permit in the city of £120 per year.  

It is shameful that Dundee City Council is reintroducing car parking charges in the West End and there is still no progress on a resident's parking scheme for West End residents.  I have written to Dundee City Council's Chief Executive asking if he can explain why the policy of the council is not being implemented.  What I want for people in the West End is fairness.  Car parking policy should be joined up.  As of Monday, we have returned to a car parking policy which incentivises parking in the already overcrowded streets of the West End.  Charges for using the car parks in the West End should have accompanied plans for a residents' parking scheme along with the promotion of active travel in the West End.

I am looking for action on this important issue.  Three and a half years is far too long to wait for an unanimously agreed policy of the council to be implemented.
