We did
Following the result of this survey, we will propose the implementation of:
- 2 dedicated bays on Albert Street
- 3 dedicated bays on Alma Road
- 1 dedicated bay on College Road
- 1 dedicated bay on Frances Road
- 2 dedicated bays on Lower Boydon Road
- 2 dedicated bays on St Leonards Road
- No dedicated parking bays on Cromwell Road, due to the strong opposition to the implementation
A legal consultation, under the Road Traffic Act 1984, will be carried out before the implementation of the bays.
