I live in Earl Street. Grimsby in one of our towns Resident Parking Areas (area E).
I appearer in The Grimsby Telegraph on 14th November 2012. page 3 after being stopped and interviewed in the street by one of your reporters.
Following on from the Grimsby Telegraph article of the 14th I liased with Councilor Andrew De Freitas of Park Ward and thanked him for the stand that he was taking to try and retain our Residents Parking Zones.
Councilor De Freitas is tabeling a motion to The Regeneration and Environment Scruteny Committie on 29th November 2012 and arguing the case for keeping the existing scheames.
I personally have sent three e mails to each of my two ward councilors, Darren Billard and Ian Lindley of West Marsh ward asking that they support Councilor De Freitas in his opposition to the removal of our residents parking zones. I am very disapointed that niether of my two ward councilors have replied to me at all over the matter!
Myself and other residents that I have spoken to do not feel that we have been consulted over this matter. The correspondence that the council sent out was very ambigious and missleading and any interpretation that has been drawn from the public responce or the lack of it should be set aside.
Residents Only Parking Zones were created for a reason and those reasons have not gone away or changed.
Is the council wanting to make all of its services self financing, just some of its services and how is it decided?
Myself and many other Grimsby and Cleethorpes residents have much to greatful to councilor De Freitas for his eforts in trying to defend our quality of life. I just wish that our own ward councilors would apear to be as supportive to their constuants.
