Broomhall Parking Review

Responded to this today. In summary:

The 4-hour restrictions should apply to specific parts of the Scheme rather than the whole Scheme: People parking within the whole area should be restricted to 4 hours rather than being able to move within the area - this leads to people swapping places at lunchtime, for instance.

We would not like to see any extra 4-hour or unrestricted parking in the area. The Scheme has made a big difference to the traffic in the area and increased cycling and walking, not just in Broomhall but on the corridors that people use to access the area. We would not like any of the benefits to be taken away. We welcome the extensions to the permit holders only areas.

At the junction of Havelock Street (where I live) and Holberry Gardens the extension of the bays and reduction in the double yellow lines is a bad idea. This area is used a lot by local children playing in the streets and anything which potentially restricts visibility around here is likely to impinge on safety.

4) We welcome the future cycle access at the junction of Holberry Gardens and Brunswick Street. This was omitted from the original scheme for no apparent reason.
