When Slough Council gave permission for the residential development of Langley College\'s student car park, it released hundreds of cars onto the surrounding streets for day-long parking - a deliberate policy. Since then, the residents have suffered real problems with parking, compounded by the Council\'s refusal to engage in meaningful enforcement. The Council now proposes to introduce Residents\' Parking, charging

Not only will this proposal cause huge daily inconvenience to the residents of Langley as well as reducing the value of our houses but we are also being asked to pay for the privilege. The council has allowed Langley to develop beyond the capacity of its infrastructure and we are being asked to pick up the pieces. The so-called 'consultation meeting' at Langley college seemed to be more a case of gauging public opinion rather than any honest attempt at consultation; a proper public consultation meeting with council members should be the starting point of any proposal from an effective council.
There is a small area in the very centre of the village where parking needs to be banned completely but in residential roads these measures do not offer any kind of solution and will only make the situation worse.

This is another hairbrained scheme from the council to make innocent residents pay for their obvious mistakes when consenting to property build in the area and not sufficient parking allocated and the sell off of a functional college car park, to make way to Scholars' Walk. I strongly object to these parking resitrictions in all the roads indicated as they will not sort out the issues but make them worse.

We should be able to park outside our own home without restriction or charge.

Our flats have a private parking area, off Willoughby Road - which, since the sell off of the College car park and charges levied on local car parks, has already seen extensive use by non residents. On several occasions I have been late for mettings as I have not been able to get my car out of the garage - on on return have had to park in Willoughby Road, as the residents car park bays in front of our garages have been occupied.
I can only see this situation getting worse if these proposals are, undemocratically, pushed through.

Why should I have to pay to visit my family at the weekend, when others can park there during the week for no real charge at all!!!
