Residents get hearing to fight Chimes traffic

Posted by Chris Longhurst on Mar 12, 09 12:47 PM in Local Authority

FED-UP with the heavy flow of traffic for the town centre, residents are pushing for full time parking restrictions.

Petitioners have raised 46 signatures from people living on roads next to The Chimes who find their roads full up on weekends from shoppers who pinch their parking spots.

The proposed 24/7 parking scheme would affect Montague Road, Iffley Close, Grove Road and Grove Way, Uxbridge and would be an extension of the current residents only scheme which operates from 9am until 5pm Monday to Saturday.

Their petition states: "Our family and friends including ourselves, cannot park in the above roads at weekends and evenings because of all the shoppers using the Chimes and parking in our roads. We are fed up with all aggravation of trying to park."

The meeting will be held on Wednesday (18/3) at the Civic Centre at 8pm.

We'd like to hear from you.
