Parking Control Zone consultation

by Graham Neale on 28 April, 2011

It would be wrong for me to try to influence the responses to the consultation about introducing a CPZ here in South Bermondsey.

Estate parking control – good news!

No one wants to have their car clamped. It is ridiculous that tenants and their visitors have to pay a week’s rent to get their cars released.

Parking Consultation petition

by Graham Neale on 19 April, 2011

This afternoon I was presented with a petition from a local resident about the parking zone consultation. The local press sent a photographer, I think it will be in Thursday’s Southwark News. I will make sure the officers get the petition, and that they include the views of all residents who respond to the survey. […]
