Dear Sir/Madam
As residents of the Watercolour Development in Redhill Surrey, RH1 2NH, managed by Pentland Estate Management, those of us that live directly next to and at the rear of the Tesco express store have to endure illegal & inconsiderate parking in our allocated spaces on a daily basis by customers mostly visiting the Tesco store, along with the doctors surgery and pharmacy. I have sent emails to Pentland complaining about the lack of control over the car park & the state of the faded bays for at least the last 2 years.
As it has reached the point of witnessing residents blocking illegally parked cars in which has led to, at times, verbal abuse toward residents & shoppers and on more than 1 occasion, physical scuffles it is about time we as residents came together as 1 voice to demand something is done to rectify what we have to endure living here.
Whilst I appreciate planning permission has been granted (for a second time) for Linden Homes to install a new car park at the front of the Tesco store I can't see this stopping the illegal parking at the rear of the store all the time the bay numbers are unreadable and we have no control over who enters the car park. When I have questioned people returning to their cars with shopping bags to ask why they feel it's acceptable to park in my space, they quite fairly say 'how am I supposed to know where to park when the bay numbers are unreadable'.
I have contacted various people at Pentland Estate Management over the last 2 years and each time I am told that they are arranging for a contractor to quote for the repainting of residents car parking bays & numbers and also that whilst the development is in the throws of being handed over to the residents to manage the wheels turn extremely slowly. What hasn't assisted is our allocated Pentland representative has changed numerous times during this period If we can get as many residents to sign the petition in support that we do actually need our car park repainted and parking controls put in place as a matter of utmost urgency.
When the target is met this petition will be presented to Pentland Estate Management, The Watercolour Residents Association & Cllr Richard Croad.

Seeing this gain momentum reminds me that I am not the only one feeling exhausted by the constant chaos outside my home. It is a relief to know that neighbors are finally acknowledging the tension we face every day.

We frequently come home to find someone has not only parked in our space but also parked very poorly essentially blocking 2 spaces. Whilst I completely agree that the parking bays need repainting and further enforcement actions considered (such as more signage), I am concerned as to where the funding will come from as we already pay so many fees. This is something that I feel should come from our existing maintenance budget.
IF Tesco would ever get on and build the extra 10 car parking spaces it has faffed over for the past 5 years, this would help the situ. But repainting of the bays would help - although this would come under our maintenance fees wouldn't it?
Should just get rid of tesco's altogether which would make the whole development more enjoyable to be a resident. Or maybe Linden should have kept their promise about installing a barrier
It's getting too much now. I've recently returned from holiday to this on going nonsense. It has to stop!!
I agree that the bays should be repainted - even when the bays paintings were pronounced, we still have Tesco customers parking in residents' bays. I don't know about other residents but, my service charge has been jerked up, hence, Pentland has a lot of our monies in their coffers without putting it into use for the residents - all they make is empty promises!! Also, I don't see any reason why Tesco should be allowed to build more parking bays. If Tesco is getting more customers then they might consider moving into a bigger space out of Watercolour. The present Tesco is a convenience store not a superstore! The residents should be asked to fork out more monies - the monies we've paid for service charge etc has not been put into use, hence, they have enough monies to repaint and put parking restriction where necessary!! Pentland should act now and stop dragging their feet or procrastinating with empty promises - it is frustrating! Pentland wake up!!
Finally glad to see another resident having same opinion about this action.
We need our parking bays repainted again! It's long overdue!

The parking situation is hugely frustrating. My bay has been parked in so many times I've lost count and is largely due to the lack of signage. I'd never dream of just randomly parking in someones driveway! Actually, Pentland could make a small fortune if a resident permit scheme was in operation and they started clamping illegally parked cars.
