Four years ago, the council introduced permit parking for all roads in the local area with the exception of Caernarvon Road. Since then it is frequently difficult to find parking on the street in the evenings, mornings and weekends, leaving residents to have to park several roads away and struggle back with shopping, children and dogs, not mention the impact to those who need parking spaces for carers, deliveries, works or visitors.
There are local businesses and shoppers who park on the road, as well as commuters who park and cycle to the city. Since Caernarvon Road is the only non permit road in the area, many residents from surroundong roads use Caernarvon Road to avoid paying for a (second) permit. As we don't have the ability to apply for residents permits, we cannot park on other surrounding roads during resteicted hours.
There are currently petitions being signed in opposition to this proposal from local businesses and they are asking their customers who are not impacted by these parking issues, to oppose this on their behalf without a real understanding of how this issue has impacted the local community.
These petitions have garnered lots of support and so it is really important that we get the same level of support to counter this. Please support our community by signing this petitions to help us get over the line and make life a bit easier.
Please could you spare five minutes to sign this petition.

The council is still ignoring our daily struggle while local businesses continue to weaponize their customers against us. Their calculated silence won't hide the fact that they have ignored our needs for years. We refuse to let these selfish interests dictate who gets to park on our own street.

I live at 37 Caernarvon Road and the parking situation has become really bad. Once the street is full, we cannot park on neighbouring streets as we are not allowed to buy a permit to park there. This then means a hunt for a space further away. The past 2 weeks we have had tradespeople on site to replace our bathroom and we have had to save a space and then move the car every day. Whilst I am sympathetic to Peapods’ concerns, they could always pay to have some permits when the street becomes permitted; I think it is unfair of them to expect the residential street to be a car park for their business.
It’s absurd that Caernarvon Rd is the only street in the immediate area without permit parking. This fact places an intolerable burden upon its residents.
I live on Caernarvon road and the parking situation is horrendous. Looking at the zoning map it is obvious as to why. The street is full of school employees, works vehicles, and second vehicles from the neighbouring roads it makes. Without even the option to pay for a permit for other streets residents are left with no accessible parking options.
I cover child care for my Grandchildren who live in Caernarvon Road and often can not park in this road to support them .
Agreed, I think it’s time to close the loop and permit Caernarvon road to keep in line with all surrounding roads. It is the only island of non permits in the city.
Permits for residents
It is unfair that Residents should have problems in parking when others, who do not live there, use the road for parking purposes. As a Grandparent, who visits regularly, spaces are always limited.

It seems a local school has asked parents to sign a petition asking for this proposal be stopped. I am also a teacher but, like many, have to pay to park neary work or park far away and walk. It is not fair that us residents on Carnarvon Road have everybody else parked on it so we can't park where we live. Ours is the only road like this. The road has many retired residents and they have to park their cars a long way away and carry heavy shopping to their homes.
