we actually pulled it off and the council officially approved the new parking plan for salisbury road. i am honestly so stoked that we finally got this sorted after all the back and forth. keep an eye on your mail for the rollout schedule because we want to make sure …
The purpose of this petition is to ascertain interest in the proposal of Residents Parking for the colonies, in particular Salisbury Road.
This was tried approx. 10 years ago and due to a small number who were against it, the petition did not get any further. However since then the Colonies has evolved with new residents, an increased number of residents vehicles and inevitably the 'outside' traffic has also increased with many commuters and shoppers using Salisbury Road as a free car park. This is causing a number of issues: residents being unable to park outside or even near their own homes, erratic parking meaning spaces not big enough for a vehicle are being left, vehicles being left on double yellow lines, frayed tempers and confrontations with non-residents, an increase in minor bumps and scrapes to vehicles, visitors to the residents being reluctant to visit due to there being no where to park and road blockages when residents want to simply unload their vehicle.
Please show your support and this petition will be presented to Devon County Council Highways department.
the momentum we have right now is honestly incredible and shows how much this is actually needed. it feels like people are finally ready to fix the parking situation for good.

I live in the colonies and I know I am not guaranteed a parking space if residents parking is approved but I am sure I will have more chance of parking closer to my home if the area was not saturated with workers , commuters and shoppers cars when I get home from work.

I am signing this on behalf of my elderly parents who have lived in Salisbury Road for over 25 years and can now not park their car on a daily basis.
They have no access to FB, but know they are really struggling with this issue and it is getting worse

I live in Hartopp Rd and would fully be in favour of residents parking - it is so disheartening and frustrating coming home from a night shift and having to park miles away from my home.

I live in Rosebery Road and sick of never being able to park anywhere near my house especially as I do shift work. People are now putting bins and cones out to protect a space.

We have lived in Salisbury Road for 45 years and the parking situation has got steadily worse and now it is totally unbearable. Fed up with people parking here to go shopping or to work or catch the train. I think there should be 1 permit per house plus a visitors permit each.
