ANGRY residents have submitted a petition against new parking permit charges.
A large number of people have complained about the ‘unfair’ charges, resulting in a petition submitted by Mr S Chubb, of Bullbrook.
The petition was presented at the most recent Bracknell Forest Council meeting by John Cochrane, also of Bullbrook, who outlined the main complaints of residents.
Mr Cochrane explained: “Parking permit charges implemented on April 1, 2017 are unfair on residents.
“We are concerned citizens urge Bracknell Forest Council to act now to abolish all parking charges and to increase the Residents Permit Parking Only restrictions, with parking bays to be increased to 24 hours a day seven days a week.”
The new charges will penalise residents living in Deepfield Road, Fielden Place, Smith Square, Forest Green and North Green.
A visual representation of the areas which will be affected by the new charges can be seen below.
Councillor Chris Turrell formally received the petition at the meeting and said that the council would consider the points raised relating to the Residents Parking Scheme.
He added: “Parking is an emotive subject and the council will respond to issues raised in due course.”
Bracknell Forest Council Mayor, Cllr Tony Virgo, thanked Mr Chubb and Mr and Mrs Cochrane for attending the meeting.
