We, the undersigned, object to the current plans from Norfolk County Council to introduce permit parking for Caernarvon Road, Norwich, as this could force Peapod pre-school to close.
Peapods has been running since 2011 and supports 80 families. While it often recruits staff from the local area, this is not always possible and some staff travel by car. They need to be able to park and without this facility they would not be able to continue working at Peapods, having a devastating impact on the pre-school.
We call upon the Council to revise the proposals to ensure they are fair to everyone on Caernarvon Road, including residents, Peapods and The Avenues school – which has stood for over 100 years.

Peapod is a vital part of the community and it's hugely important that they continue to be able to thrive and to have the chance to recruit skilled staff from across the city and county
I have found that introducing parking permits has not made parking any easier for residents when I have lived on nearby roads such as Glebe and Earlham Road. It would be awful for our family if Peapod had to close, and would be extremely unsettling to all the children that are happy and settled there
Peapod preschool is a very friendly welcoming preschool. The area struggles with the lack of preschools around due to many preschools in the area having to close. There needs to be some parking support not only for some staff members but also for parent/carers who may need to drive their children to school for reasons out of there control whether this be for children or for themselves having a disability. I understand the comment which refers to living in the local area and working in the city but even then there is parking at walking distances away as there are many car parks available where as for peapod preschool there is no close available parking.
We send our little girl to this nursery, without parking we would struggle to get here as would our family members who support us with pick ups and drop offs. It makes a big difference when travelling from out of area
Peapod preschool are an essential part of our community and their staff are incredible. Please do not under estimate the impact permit parking will have on staffing and the knock on impact on our local children.
i worked here for my work experience, and to see it closed would be devastating. The staff work so hard, and the children are all so lovely. The space is perfect and to have it shut down would be which a disadvantage to everyone that currently attends. Please sign this!
Both my children went here and through Avenues. It would be a shame to loose the hard working and committed staff due to lack of parking

There has to be a way to fix this, risking losing educational settings to raise funds through permits seems ridiculous
