RESIDENTS' PARKING NEEDED FOR HIGH HEATON?

2.14.00pm BST (GMT +0100) Thu 9th Apr 2009

The North Heaton Lib Dem FOCUS Team is surveying residents on the High Heaton estate to ask whether you think residents parking permits should be introduced to address parking problems.

Lib Dem councillors in Dene and North Heaton wards have helped to introduce parking zones in a number of areas in the vicinity of the Freeman Hospital. Unfortunately, this has helped to push the parking problem further out onto areas such as Holystone Crescent and Weldon Crescent, and has been worsened by parking from Heaton Manor.

Councillor Karen Robinson says: "We understand that there are mixed views about residents parking permits and so we'd like to informally test opinion about whether a scheme would be supported for the High Heaton estate before we take the matter further.

"If you live in this part of the ward and would like to let us know your opinion, please get in touch with us."
