Residents must have a say in local parking says Councillor

Article: Jul 26, 2011

Local Lib Dem Councillor Delme Greening is leading a campaign to get the Welsh Assembly to allow local residents to have more of say in parking decisions that affect their area.

NEW HOMES BUILT WITHOUT ENOUGH PARKING SPACES

At the moment, under guidelines issued by the Welsh Assembly, new developments have a maximum amount of parking they are allowed to provide.
In many cases these spaces don't come anywhere near to meeting the demand. As a result, residents of these new developments are forced to park in nearby streets, causing problems for the residents that live there.
