Recently on Council website appeared with no consultation changes to the parking rule, it was a surprise, had not been discussed anywhere & even now some details are unclear and there is no opportunity to ask questions in a public meeting before go-live
Petition asks for delay

Petition does not necessarily mean a relaxation of parking rules but says need a proper debate on parking 1st
I still think we need to extend parking hours until later in the evening in return for more free tickets but also a review of parking permits issued based on

need rather than address. Plus review of rules on car clubs, HMO's, taxi stands, electric vehicles etc.
Rather then incremental unannounced changes, lets have a proper review of parking rules, agree strategy first in public & then make a change if required

30 signatures = a 3-minute presentation at full Council, 1,000 signatures means it goes to Overview & Scrutiny Committee, 2,000 signatures means a 30-minute debate at full Council
Why Council e-petition has more weight then other petitions

Petition is an amalgamation of my original petition & one from Cllr Puru Miah, as Council only allow 1 petition on each subject
