Allderidge Avenue and Newland Park parking

John Fareham and John Abbott wish to know whether, in the light of the ongoing building works at the University, residents wish to see the current parking restrictions in Allderidge Avenue and Newland Park reviewed to meet the increasing demand for parking  spaces which may result.

Many  have seen the huge cranes on the skyline and will know the Halls of Residence are going up.  Although the University say they will discourage bringing cars, and of course we believe them entirely, that does not stop students applying to live in the new accommodation and making sure they park off-campus to meet the University’s requirements.  There is little the University could do to penalise what would be lawful behaviour. As a result some residents of Newland Park have asked us if they can  review the parking restrictions most especially on the inner loop.  Some residents of Allderidge Avenue have asked us if they can now join the resident parking scheme that was declined two decades ago.  Because we do not squander your money, from the limited amount Labour give us, we have the funds to make a Traffic Regulation Order and are checking with the officers what options there are.
