Bexley Council want opinions on parking changes

BEXLEY Council wants your views on parking so it can draw up a strategy which reflects the “economic challenges around our town centres and other key employment locations, and also in support of new opportunities”.

The Council is seeking opinions on who should provide parking, where and how, and has planned five consultation events.

Cabinet member for environment and public realm, Councillor Gareth Bacon said: “Understandably, people feel strongly about parking issues and we are keen to have an informed public debate about what can be difficult and complex matters. I would urge residents and businesses to get involved in this important consultation, and help us shape the future of parking in Bexley.”

The consultation runs from Monday (September 10) until Friday, November 30.

Information is available at Bexley.gov.uk/parkingreview.

You can give feedback at surveymonkey.com/s/parkingreview or by e-mailing transportationplanning@bexley.gov.uk.

Pick up a questionnaire and the consultation documents at libraries, council offices, consultation events or by request. They should be posted to London Borough of Bexley Strategic Planning and Transport, Hill View, Hill View Drive, Welling, Kent DA16 3RY

 

 

The consultation events:

Friday, September 21, and Saturday, September 22, 10am to 4pm: Broadway Shopping Centre, Bexleyheath

Wednesday, October 3, 10am to 4pm: 9-11 High Street, Sidcup

I'm never going to pay to park in Beleyheath on a weekend when it was free before. Bexley are just making Bluewater more attractive with each "improvement" they make.

If the forthcoming changes are just half as bad as what Conways did to Orpington High St Bexleyheath will become an anti-car ghost town. It cost £2.2M and has fallen apart in less than 2 years. Go and see the quality of what you are about to receive!

I haven't been to bexleyheath for a few years now, and don't intend to. Parking is too expensive and also I have discovered Internet puchasing.

Bexley Council keep asking Bexley residents what they want them to do. If Bexley Councillors really have no idea of how to run the borough, why not abolish themselves & have the council run by full time officials organising referendums & then implementing the most popular choices?

They want opinions, lets give them that. Personally I want parking machines to either give change or give a proportion of the time extra for the extra money paid when you don't have change. The technology and software is there. Further, I want a relaxing of double yellow lines on Sunday throughout the borough. There is no need to have such strict parking restrictions on Saturday evenings and Sunday daytime.
