To Hackney Homes and Hackney Council,
We, the residents of Watson Close, challenge your proposal to remove our car park gate.
We did not receive any letters of consultation, which would be necessary for you to take this action.
Other reasons for being against this proposal include:
- We feel secure with the gate. It separates Watson Close from the main road, and so removing it would make it seem like our space is more accessible to strangers and the general public.
- We believe that even more cars would attempt to drive into our car park, either as part of the school run directly opposite, or to chance parking overnight. This kind of traffic would cause further congestion and be dangerous to pedestrians and our kids who play outside.
- We feel that a car park where anyone can buy a permit, or chance parking out of hours or in the absence of an attendant, would lead to even less spaces for us genuine residents.
- Removing the gate would significantly increase the cost of our car insurance.
Please keep our gate.
Yours faithfully,
Residents of Watson Close

I am the resident directly across from the carpark. I am already the person most affected by having a car park their and changing to an open access permit parking is grossly unjust. There is already chaos from school runs in both afternoon and evening. I am the one who was faced with hostility from drivers when there was no gate. The entrance is constantly blocked by cars and that will only get worst.
Please don't Remove Watson Close's Car Park Gate for security reason.

The gate is the best think I love about our home. It gives a feeling of security and easy access to parking for residents.

Please keep our gates. Makes our access to parking easy. It is sometime difficult for residents to get a bay to park as we don't have sufficient ones for Watson close residents. Life will be made more difficult for us to find a parking space after a busy day and there is security risk too as you would be exposing us to criminals in the public that will have access to the car park, break in into cars and gain entry into our building due to frequent faulty main entrance doors.
