Good news.

There is resident-only parking where I live and it really doesn't work because the council don't enforce it.

I sincerely hope the B&H council are better at enforcing it than Wolverhampton City Council.

Some residents have liaised with the council and will inform them via special contact No re any illegal parking

They also have made 'if you can't afford to live round here you can't afford to park round here' posters, aimed at commuters. Nothing to do with me!!!!

can see a few cars getting keyed around there then, especially with the dark winter nights settling in.

Good news.

Not for those who drive and want to meet their mates (of which you are one!) for a pre match shant in the Station it isnt!!

Hove Born and Bred-any idea if Woodside Ave is excluded (where I normally park) and what the story Saturday lunchtime and mid week early evening will be?

 

[MARKO]

Is it Woodside Ave rather than Woodland Rd. ?..the road that overlooks the railway line and hardly no residents park in ?

 

[pasty]

Residents parking is a f***ing nuisance. The council introduced it round our way a while back, but only about two thirds of the way up the road. It stops about 2 houses down from our place, so guess who can never get a f***ing parking space outside their own house, whilst the residents parking spaces lay empty about 20 yards down the road.

To compound the problem, we are not allowed a residents parking permit because our address isn't in the residents only zone. Bloody ludicrous, we've had four parking tickets in the last year as the alternative would have been parking about a mile away! Either don't bother (as there wasn't actually ever a parking problem in the first place), or at least make the whole road residents only. Tossers!

I believe it is. Do you mean the road that the few residents who live there can't get a space in because everyone parks there for the station? Let's hope it improves things and the residents spaces are not just clogged up with residents from two or three roads away who are late for a train so drive instead of walking....

One thing's for certain - it will bring in some revenue from station parkers (£3.50 a day to park there I believe).

Apologies if I've got this wrong but I think I'm right in saying that one of the streets near to London Rd Station (Clermont Rd maybe?) has a residents parking scheme that has restricted parking only for an hour during the middle of the day which means that it stops the all-day commuter parking which is the main trigger for the introduction of residents parking schemes?

Wouldn't this be the best of both worlds? Residents can park all day, every day, because they live there while non residents can park too, just not all day.

Sounds alright to me?

Cumberland Road next to Preston Park station has the same thing where you can't park from 12:00-13:00 every day and that seems to work very well

Why do the powers that be like making it so difficult for people to go to work?

To be fair, (using Preston Park as an example) it is annoying when you can't park near your house with so many cars sitting there all day waiting for their occupants to return from London or wherever they have been.

Worthing has residents only parking between 10 -11 am and 2-3pm that seems to stop commuters parking for the day as it is very strictly monitored by NCP Traffic Wardens,

 

[Ninja Elephant]

There are a couple of zones in Brighton and Hove (Zone U in Brighton, Zone W in Hove) which are "light touch" enforcement zones, only restricted during a couple of hours every day. I only know about zone W having spent alot of time there myself, that's restricted 10-11am and 7-8pm, it's between Langdale Gardens and Wish Road. It's rarely enforced now, but was done all the time when it first started.

The council have been trying to get controlled parking around the Preston Park area for a long time now, they've always had it as a "priority" enforcement area for the Patrol Units, but now it seems they have their wish and it will be controlled fully. I should imagine it'll be a 7 day 9am-8pm job aswell, I can't imagine they'll have a light touch area there.

Why can't people just park where they want to park?! The roads are supposed to be free.
