There's a lot of information in these FAQs that relates to our campaign to persuade the Council to support the principle of a residents' parking scheme. That campaign has now achieved its first objective. It will take a while for volunteers to amend and update these pages to reflect that. In the meantime, our work is not yet done. Residents will be consulted one more time on the design for a scheme and we intend to make sure that everyone knows about that work and has their opportunity to test the Council's proposals.
