Abridge has already lost parking with the recent introduction of residents parking in Hoe Lane. Losing even more spaces would result in customers not stopping and will make running a business in Abridge impossible

If you go ahead with this the people of abridge won't have anywhere to shop locally as the shops can't make a living and will have to close. Not everyone has cars to be able to shop miles from home. Either provide a car park or leave things as they are.

Making this area resident parking only, will absolutely destroy these local business's, I would urge all responsible to this proposal to reconsider.Too many businesses are losing trade because of these parking restrictions in place up and down the country.Let's not make the beautiful village of Abridge one of them!

I can't walk very far, therefore I have to take my car if I want to go to the shops, so are you telling me, that as a resident for the past 52yrs I now cannot shop in the market place because you are taking away our parking spaces????? Come on think sensibly about this.

I live at No 5 Abridge heights with my partner opposite the Blueand Deli and object to making the area for residents only. Local businesses rely on visitors. To the area and will be put off if there is no where to park

This is an awful idea. The houses in the area have ample parking already, and this would have a terrible affect on the local businesses that help make the village so great. Why ruin things for many for the benefit of just a few?

There are very few shops left in Abridge, the council should be helping them, not hindering them. Parking permits will only harm local businesses.
